I would suspect that you are not registered with E Bay in the US of A. This must be a scam as log in page for E Bay UK is https://signin.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISA...ame=h:h:sin:UK sign in for the US of A is https://signin.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI...name=&siteid=0

I think if there were any irregularities with payments on your credit card, your bank would've notified you first, and not ebay. You can spot phishing mails a mile off mainly due to bad spelling and punctuation / grammar : look at the second sentence in the mail : 'reasons' should be 'reason', capitalisation of 'd' in 'due'. The comma after 'account' should be a full stop and the following phrase should be a seperate sentence, and toward the end of the mail 'inquires' should be 'enquiries'. You'd think that the people who dream up these schemes with all their technical knowledge would at least have the gumption to run their mails through Word's spelling/grammar checker before sending them out to millions of potential victims.
