These are two entirely different issues.  The first one, about eBay no longer 
allowing usernames with email addresses in them, which was all plaintext, 
looks legit.  They stopped allowing you to register a new ID using an email 
address a year ago or more, so this new policy doesn't surprise me much.  
Again, if you're not sure, go straight to www.ebay.com and use the forgotten 
password feature.

The second one, which has the "we could not verify your info" garbage filled 
with HTML, is a well-known scam - one which I've seen in many forms.

Ebay has an email address for reporting spoofs.  They ask that you forward 
them (inline) to [EMAIL PROTECTED], at least in theory so that they can 
investigate the spoofers.
