Report it to Ebay at...
spoof () ebay com
ref: http://pages.ebay.com/education/spooftutorial/

They'll be more interested in pursuing these things (and pressing charges)
than anyone.

Unless you're actually duped/scammed I don't think you have grounds to take
legal action.  If you have actually been scammed you can file a report
here...

Subject: Web Scams


Who other then the local autorities, does someone report a e-mail scam? I
have received two now claiming to be from E-bay. The funny thing is I do not
use e-bay at work, nor do I use my work e-mail for it. (which is where it
was sent).
The scam asks for all the information required for identity theft. (sin
number, bank acount info, credit card info, e-bay information).
Any input would be great. This e-mail has appeared in a couple of
co-worker's inboxes.
