Just got this in my email--the IP address, when checked on SenderBase shows it to be out of Bucharest:

However you will receive a confirmation request in about 24 hours after the credit/debit card is authorized.You have 24 hours from the time you'll receive this e-mail to complete this eBay Request.

That's a dead give away. eBay will never ask for that information in an email.

Yeah, , but they'll ask for them only once!

Of course, once is all it takes....
