New eBay Phishing e-Mail

Hi Everyone,
Not sure if this is the right forum for this (I normally post on the DFW boards) but I know that many of us on here are selling on eBay so thought it worth posting up. If the moderators feel it would be better placed elsewhere then so be it.
I've just received a fairly sophisticated e-mail phishing for my eBay account details. It goes as follows:
The subject is:
Re: Question for item - Toshiba @Tecra M2 @ Centrino Lightweight @ Wireless Laptop
The message basically says that you haven't left feedback for a laptop you have purchased and encourages you to click on a "respond now" button. If you do this then you are taken to a FAKE eBay login page where they can steal your login details.
If you get this e-mail then the simplest thing to do is forward it to [EMAIL="spoof@ebay.co.uk"]spoof@ebay.co.uk[/EMAIL] and then delete it.
Take care y'all...

Oh, btw I have put a copy of this on the DFW board.
