Click that link and it'll tell you. However, I'm not sure what you think you'll be able to do with this information.
I think generally you are asking the wrong questions, how about saying what you are trying to do instead.

forward the email to [email protected], they'll soon tell you if it's genuine or not. Don't click on any links in it, just in case. I get these from time to time, and loads from banks I don't even bank with - they're phishing, report and delete.

I reset my password as I could't get into Ebay and had an email saying someone had tried to access my account... When I got in my account the same message was in my inbox. I have called who I think is 'Ebay' and they say someone tried to access my account and they locked it for security. Have I called a correct number? I called 0800 358 6552 (taken off Ebay's web site)... have I called a bogus number? Oh dear.

Just had another email ...
We've detected some unusual activity on your eBay account, and it looks like your password may have become known to a third party. In order to protect you and your eBay account we've reset your password and Secret Question (password hint).
The unusual activity may be a result of using a sniping site to bid on your behalf at the last minute, using a public-use computer or could be a result of you answering a spoof mail. You'll find more information on spoof below.
Here's what you should do now:
1) Choose a new eBay password
2) Change your Secret Question
3) Update your information in Turbo Lister
4) Protect against spoof emails
1) Choose a new eBay password
1. Go to the eBay homepage and click on "My eBay".
2. Click on "I've forgotten my password" on the sign-in page.
3. Answer two of the questions from your contact information (such as your postcode and Date of Birth) as we have changed your Secret Question.
4. Check your email for the "Forgotten Password" email.
5. Copy the link in this email into the address bar of a new browser window. Do not click on the link.
6. Enter and confirm your new password.
Tips for secure passwords:
- Choose a completely new password, preferably a random combination of letters and numbers. This password should be different to all of your other online passwords.
- Never give your password to anyone else. eBay will not ask you for your password or credit card details in any communication.
- If you used your old eBay password for other services such as PayPal or online banking, you should choose a new password for those accounts as well.
2) Change your Secret Question
Please change your Secret Question and check that your eBay registration information is correct. Once you have created a new eBay passw

I wouldn't do any of those things until you have been to your eBay account and seen if your old password does in fact work. I've never had an email like that. Does your PayPal account look OK in terms of transactions, nothing odd going on there?
Just try and log into eBay as per normal and see what happens,before you do anything else.

The problem may be that someone has found out your email address and password.
Lets say you have an email address of [email protected] and a password of "football".
Then lets say you register with lots of web sites such as ebay, amazon, tesco etc - and on each of these you register with [email protected] with the same password of "football".
Now lets assume you register with a slightly "dodgy" web site (not porn but maybe a less trustworthy site), and again you register with [email protected] and password "football".
So now every time you log on to that web site you are "giving away" your email and password combination. Once you have given it away people will then try the same combination on sites like ebay, amazon and so on.
Always use a DIFFERENT password for your email address than the one you use for web sites.
Even better have 2 or 3 email addresses, and keep one for JUST valid sites like ebay, your bank etc. Use another email address for "dodgy" sites so if your details are stolen they cant get in to ebay or you bank.
