Subject: Your account has been suspended

temporarily suspend, indefinitely suspend or terminate your membership

Due to the suspension of this account, please be advised you are
prohibited from using eBay in any way. This includes the registering of

Please note that any seller fees due to eBay will immediately become
due and payable. eBay will charge any amounts you have not previously

Note the link looks legitimate but the actual link it goes to is: http://signin.ebay.com.mrcgi.info/ws/SignIn.html
Note how the address isn't https but it looks vaguely correct. Go there and you'll be asked for your ebay Id and Password and voila - they've got you!
