Due to recent account takeovers and unauthorized listings, eBay is introducing a new account verification method. From time to time, randomly selected accounts (seller and/or buyer) are subjected to an advanced verification process based on our merchant accounts/bank relations and customers credit card. eBay may also request in an email message scanned/faxed copies of one or more photo ID's. Your account confirmation may go wrong if your credit card/bank account is expired, or if you have changed your credit card number, billing address etc. without notifying us about the change. Subject of this verification process are also the accounts that have unpaid dues to eBay.
Your account is not suspended, but if in 48 hours after you receive this message your account is not confirmed we reserve the right to suspend your eBay registration. If you received this notice and you are not the authorized account holder, please be aware that it is in violation of eBay policy to represent oneself as another eBay user. Such action may also be in violation of local, national, and/or international law. eBay is committed to assist law enforcement with any inquires related to attempts to misappropriate personal information with the intent to commit fraud or theft. Information will be provided at the request of law enforcement agencies to ensure that perpetrators are prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
Note: If this is the second time you receive this notice, it might be because you have made a mistake when you entered your details or that the account was not updated at all.

It looks legit... so do I really need to do this? Has anyone else gotten one?

Thanks!
I wanted to ask first before I did anything. I never would have noticed the address. It all looked halfway legit.
Thank you!

You know, normaly I would know that and I know the signs (pretty much) to look for. I don't know what made me think this one was legit.
Oh well at least I didn't send them anything.
Thanks!

Yeah your best bet is always to ignore those, eBay even says they'll never ask you for sensitive info over email (most legit places don't).
If you want though, and I always do this, just click Forward and send the email exactly as is, title and all to spoof@ebay.com I always do that to mine because even though I'm sure they're scams, it might help the eBay fraud dept to know what the scammers are sending out in their name. You'll receive an automatic message saying they got your Fwd, then a little later another one saying, "Indeed it was a fake, this didn't come from eBay"
Sometimes I got 3-4 of these eBay ones a month, I must've ended up on someone's list... Once I got a similar message from a bank, saying something like my account was gonna be closed. Too bad I'd never held an account at that bank, nice try, scam artists.

Thank you!I actually DID click on one once... luckily it was old and eBay had already busted it, so it gave me a "phishers" message.
