Well, I always get back a form letter from eBay saying that they've
determined the email originated from outside their domain, and is probably a
scam. I don't know what they do after that, other than send threatening
communications to the ISP. Apparently it's a BIG issue around eBay
security, though -- they regular post and send out warnings about these
phony emails.
