Hi Ray,
Yes, I do get a lot of phishing emails for both ebay and  paypal.  When you 
get enough of these you get better at recognizing  phishing for what it is.  I 
send them to _spoof at ebay.com_ (mailto:spoof at ebay.com)  and _spoof at paypal.com_ 
(mailto:spoof at paypal.com)  but in truth I don't know  whether they do much to 
investigate these.  BUT I also get plenty of  phishing emails for BankAmerica, 
WaMu, Chase, and various other banks stating  that they are going to cancel 
my account.
I don't hear anyone complaining about these emails.  And  the banks can do 
little about these sites since most of them are coming from  other countries.  
Just the same, ebay and PayPal can do little.  Just  check My Messages if you 
are concerned about whether an email is for  real.
