If its the same as I get then I've been receiving stuff like that for a couple years now

its called phishing where they get you to go to a site which just looks the real site be it ebay or a bank etc etc and get you to sign it to confirm some details

I get around 6-7 of these a week. Best thing to do is just forward them to either spoof@paypal.com or spoof@ebay.com and let them deal with them. Gets damn boring after a while though.
