There's loads of these doing the rounds at the moment.

Just ignore them. The biggest giveaway is the address to which it directs you, which is never on the ebay.com or ebay.co.uk domains. It's always something like ebay.verifydetails.com or something, which is just a subdomain set up by someone on their verifydetails.com domain.

oftem it's just a numerical IP address! IF unsure, dont do it.

As has been said, there is NEVER any reason for ebay to ask you to confirm details by entering them.

They are probably just guessing that you might have an ebay account. I get lots of emails saying that my bank account details need updating - Funnily enough, I don't have accounts with these ten banks or so!
