Hey, I just figured I'd report this to the board 
because I know how often people in here run 
auctions on ebay.

I got an email this morning from 'ebay updates' 
(securebilling@ebay.com) with the title 'ebay 
update (urgent please read) that said that my 
credit card bounced and that I needed to go to 
their link and put in my info right away.

Except the link they give isn't exactly the link 
that you go to, although it also looks like it's 
an ebay site.  

I got confirmation that my current bill cleared 
at least a week ago from ebay, and I checked just 
in case by going directly through ebay and not 
their link, and my bill had been paid fine.  This 
seems EXTREMELY shady, so if anyone else gets a 
message like this, for god sakes don't do it.  Go 
check your balance the manual way first or email 
ebay directly from their website.  

Don't even know how to report a scam using ebay 
to ebay, and I don't think they'd do anything 
about it (even if they could) so just figured I'd 
give you all a heads-up.
