The link takes you somewhere in Kroatia or wherever .KR is.

.KR is Korea... and yea, In the nearly 5yrs I've been using ebay/paypal, I've never had a legit email asking for anything account related, they just don't ask, ever.
Had a few reverse charge emails, but I knew those were legit :D

You don't even have to click the link, just hover over it with the mouse and the status bar on the bottom will tell you where it goes.

I've seen some pretty good ones... like ebay links that have the domain 'is-api.com' since you can see that isapi.dll is in the real sign-in link, so they'll add subdomains like (hover over link) http://signin.ebay.com/ws2/eBayISAPI.dll?SignIn&ssPageName=h:h:sin:US&ru=http%3A//www.ebay.com (http://signin.ebay.is-api.com/ws2/eBayISAPI.dll?SignIn&ssPageName=h:h:sin:US&ru=http%3A//www.ebay.com) etc.etc. to make it look 95% legit...and if you just glance at it and don't know anything, it's easy to see how people are fooled.
bastards :punch:
