this a valid eBay url address?

I received an email apparently from ebay since I changed my address recently in my eBay settings. But when I look further into the url that the email requests for me to click on, it says www.billing-team.com which then refers me to a ebay url that prompts for my username and password.

Now I don't want to my account hacked so is the url billing-team.com affiliated with eBay. I figure if the email was valid that the url they sent me would be directly to eBay.

Thoughts?

Just go to your ebay account directly and login there. If there is anything that needs correcting it should tell you then, and you can proceed from there to make the changes.

Don't click on the email link.
 
just type in anyt user name and password (make one up) -- it says it worked!! imagine that!, then they want you to update your account with personal info... aren't they nice 🙂

Sure enough, it let me sign in with a made up user and pw and even asked me to update my info. So sad...

Should I forward the email to ebay to notify them or is it useless?
