OT: Interesting phishing email...

No, Ebay justs lets you login, and happily redirects you to the fake
login page, but gives no real indication that it has done so. The effect
is that you believe that you haven't actually logged-in correctly and
you try again, but the second time you are using the spoofed page, where
your login details are recorded, and you are then returned to ebay, and
it appears that you have now successfully logged in (you have, but it
happened after the first login). It's a well thought-out spoof in my
opinion.
