That sounds like one of those email phishing scams and nothing to really do with ebay at all. Was funny for a good laugh though :P I get emails all the time like that. The best one was from an auction that I had bid on from braveheat. They ask me if I was interested in the item. I was like sure, just tell me what your first name is and I will send the cash straight over to you. They of course didn't use Erik's real name and I laughed at them and then reported them to ebay and the police :D
