question from ebay member

Hi,

i just recieved the following question on one of my items

Hello,
My name is Ace Schmidt.

I just saw this item of yours and I remember seeing the same item two days ago, take a look:

http://search.shipping.ebay.com/?fcid=1&fpos=90210&vlm=1&requesturl=http://search-completed.ebay.mydyn.net/ws/eBayISAPI.dll.php?SignIn&UsingSSL=1&pUserId=&co_partnerId=2&siteid=0&save=Save


Am i right in thinking this is phishing?,

    It's meant to be shipping. They are piggbybacking on the address that eBay uses when working out the shipping costs of an item.
