    How on earth can you say that?!

    This site (fleabay.co.uk) is not doing a redirection to ebay.co.uk, it is copying the HTML from the eBay page. Fleabay (which is hosted by Pipex) is then perfectly situated to capture your username/password through a "man in the middle" attack and use this information to compromise your eBay account.

    Errr beg to differ...all it is a frame with the ebay page. If you right-click the page within the frame and check properties you will see that the page you are viewing is indeed:

    ADDRESS (URL) "http://www.ebay.co.uk/

    There is no copying of html there.
