I just received an email which purported to come from Ebay asking me to reregister. Fortunately, the 'click here' link didn't work and I was able to see the underlying URL. This looks like a scam to get users to reveal their passwords. It is clearly NOT from Ebay - BEWARE.
It was from "TheEbayNewsflash@users.iafrica.com
The text of the email is shown below

Dear eBay Member,
We regret to inform you that, for security purposes, you must re-register with eBay.
Don't worry! Any items you have bid on, are bidding on, or have won will be unaffected. You will not need to register a new eBay ID. You simply must resubmit your information to verify it with our systems.
Please >a href=http://www11.brinkster.com/creditblink/">click here to visit our eBay re-registration webpage.
We apologize for any inconvenience and thank you in advance for your cooperation.
Sincerely,
eBay Member [This message was edited by mickd on 06 May 2002 at 02:55 PM.]
