Ebay? Not really!

This looks like a valid Ebay message:
Ebay?
but it is not: Knowing how Ebay sends mail: your registered name will be on top, embedded and not via a link. It’s missing here so the message is bogus.
Secondly, I hardly ever sell things on Ebay so it wasn’t meant for me anyway, so why would I get this message? well, because of the two “interesting” links from this message: both are leading to a site not related to Ebay, and likely to run a script intercepting you username and password:

and, at the bottom:
