It contained the normal ebay logos in the proper places and menu and stuff at the bottom. The "ebay Billing updates" website was: http://www.ebay-updates.org/ (it looks like it has gone down now) I'm assuming this wasn't legit. (Whois.org search looks like I'm right)
So I just wanted to put the word out there that this really formal eBay letter is going around and it is probably a fraud to get people to enter their bank information. I can only guess how many people this might have hit. If you know anymore about this please post!
Thanks.
