Looks impressive, doesn’t it?
Ebay has nothing to do with it: Where’s my name????
The message text is crappy as well – Ebay wouldn;t be as dunb as this.
It originates from Japan. If the two links are scrutenized, you see a non-ebay address:

Even on the bottom link, it’s this same link.
The header reveals some detail as well:

This could be the originator, or some dude that has his mailserver set as an open relay.
I haven’t tried the link to ns.maple-soft.co.jp yet.
