These people are good. Although, poor spelling is a dead giveaway. But really, this is good. It even opens up a real ebay page when you click on it.

You have to be extremely careful. Just looking at a URL in the address bar is no indication that you are on the proper site.
A security flaw in many web browsers has been discovered and is being exploited by a few criminals. They can explot the vulnerability to overlay Web addresses with any URL name they wish in the address and status bars of the browser. By obscuring the fake Web address in this way, the scammers can effectively trick e-mail recipients into thinking they're visiting a legitimate web site, rather than a virtual facade erected to capture user security details. The flaw has been confirmed in IE 6.0 and possibly older versions. Outlook Express 6.0 and Mozilla Firebird 0.7 are also thought to be at risk. Check this out to see how it works.
