Hi @melvi.rid see the eBay Help page liked below about phish email and how to report them to eBay, which includes:

Email phishing attempts

A phishing email pretending to be from eBay typically contains a link that takes you to a fake website. There, you’ll be asked to sign in and submit personal and account information.

These emails often include the eBay logo and a fake eBay address in the “From” line.

Here are some typical traits of phishing scams:

Asking for confidential information
An urgent or threatening tone that asks you to act quickly
Unsolicited attachments
A generic greeting, like “Attention eBay member”
A web address that looks like eBay, but which may have a typo or extra numbers and letters (like http://signin-ebay.com or http://signin.ebay.com@10.19.32.4)

Suspicious email

Don’t click any links in the email or open any attachments.
Forward the message to us as an attachment at spoof@ebay.com

We’ll always send a copy of any important messages to your eBay Messages

Hi @melvi.rid That email address is 1000% not eBay. Somebody is scaming somebody. Without a context of where you came by that email address, it's impossible to say who or how, but something untowed is going on. Good luck!

@melvi.rid < Just want to know if it is real > It's probably a real email address, but not one of eBay's. I predict it leads to to somebody who will try to trick you into giving them your credit card information. Why would eBay have a gmail account? They have their own domain.

@melvi.rid All the legit emails I've received from eBay use xxxx@ebay.com. I don't recall ever getting an eBay email from xxxx@gmail.com
