ebay - Change of eBay id email ?????

I just got a mail from saying that my email ID is
present in my eBay id.
Did others get a similar mail? Is this a fake email or os this from eBay?

My ebay id DOES NOT contain any email id and that's what is worrying me....

Can someone tell me whether this is authentic or not?

Regards,
Anurag

Dear

eBay is constantly working to provide a safer and easier trading
experience for our members. In our ongoing efforts to prevent unsolicited
and possibly fraudulent email, we have decided to allow only User IDs that
do not include an email address. This policy takes effect immediately.

Your User ID includes an email address, and must now be changed. To avoid
any interruption in your ability to trade on eBay, we have chosen a
temporary User ID for you:

New User ID: anuragvarshney43nb


Your password and email address on file have not been changed. You will
not receive a 'Changed ID' icon because of this change.

If you would like to change your temporary User ID, please sign in at
http://pages.ebay.com/ with your new User ID. Then use the 'Change User ID'
feature (Preferences area of My eBay) to choose your new eBay User ID. If
you have any questions, you can learn more about the 'Change User ID'
feature and how it works in our Help section.

For more information on this policy regarding User IDs, refer to 'User ID
Policy' in Help at http://pages.ebay.com/.

Regards,
EBay

It is a fake that makes you enter your password, then they hijack your ebay
account and fraudulently sell stuff off and never send it to the buyers,
meanwhile you get stuck with the seller fees and the negative feedback. DO
NOT ever reply to these.

Also, any time I am not sure whether the email is legit, I forward
the entire message, complete with all headers to:

I have always received a reply from ebay, almost always two replies.
One thanks me for the forwarded message with complete headers, and
the other tells me that the email was not sent by ebay and to not
open messages like the one I got. HTH
Aram.

Ebay's gone crazy lately. They suspended me because my phone number was
outdated... they're looking for trouble
for no reason, I've quit ebay and won't be going there anymore, but here's
their unlisted Ebay customer service # 1-800-322-9266.

You're supposed to keep a current phone number on file with eBay. If you
didn't and got NARU'd, that's *your* fault, not theirs.
