The grammar also tipped me off right away, but the kicker was that it was
not an eBay domain. interpool.us? Hmmm.... Definately not eBay. It
would something.eBay.com or www.ebay.com/something, but certainly not
ebay.something.us.
Also, if you look at the information that this person is asking for, eBay
never asked for things like PIN number on the ATM!
