Hello all,
Just a warning.
Got this message in the mail today, supposedly from eBay. Looked nice and official too. However, when the link is clicked a file variant (of eBayISAPI.dll) tries to install itself on your machine. It's a good thing I'm paranoid and run tons of security which caught the thing. I'm no expert, but I assume it's probably an ID and password collector of some sort.
It's been reported.

EggHere's the message in full:
