I don't have the exact details here, but this is pretty much what you should be wary of.

There is a scam going on ebay where after you win an auction, and pay for what you won you are sent a tracking number via DHL. They also include a link to the DHL website to track the package. The thing is the DHL site you are sent to is not the real one. All the links on the site point to the official DHL site (dhl-usa.com). The only link that doesn't point to DHL is the tracking link. The tracking section will go as far as to tell you the package is in route, location, etc. So the person who is scamming you can say hey i sent the package, call DHL to complain.

The site to look out for is http://www.dhl-worldexpress.com/home/home.htm. (fake site).
 

Wow, it's usually easy to spot eBay scams, but this one seems like it could catch a lot of people. Thanks for the info.
