Raised - do not respond to that in any way excepting forwarding the entire thing, including headers, to spoof@ebay.com

It's someone's cleverly-disguised phishing expedition. You respond and fill out the resultant forms after following that e-mail's instructions you'll be giving someone, somewhere all your account details.

eBay will send you any important stuff to your "My Messages" portion of your 'My eBay.' They never send out emails like that and if you get them in the future follow the above instructions and just let them deal with it.

If you go to the eBay home page, they have a link to report those websites. I've done it before.

Edit: beat me to it...

Any email from ebay will be http://www.ebay.com/ebayiSaPi bla bla bla. Not http://www.user.ebay.com or any other similarity.

there 100% corrects its a scam, ive used ebay for like 5 years, ive gotten like 3 of those exact same emails, i never replied to them but it DOES look legit so its a tricky one , i figured wait 24 hours see if its suspended them do it, i had nothing to buy or sell in those next 24hours so i said better be safe than sorry, so i waited , nothing happened. Got those like 2 more times later same thing, just ignoer it and report it.

yes, they should.
rule 1, if you receive an email from eBay, just delete it. you'll always have a copy of it in your "my eBay" tab on the site.
