Did any one else go to https://ppcapp.ebay.com/bic/c2cliteonboardingglobal/payout?flowId=

[wyomingcreations]

So did anyone else get an email from ebay with using this email address: eBay <ebay@reply5.ebay.com>

and go to a link like this:

https://ppcapp.ebay.com/bic/c2cliteonboardingglobal/payout?flowId=

and enter in banking info like routing number and last 4 of ss# ??

I did send this to spoof@ebay.com but 2 days latter I have no reply .

I need to find out if this was a scammer or not ?  I understand that sellers need to enter in their bank info or sellers who sell with paypal will no longer get paid .   HERE is what the email says :

Update your account details by May 21, 2021, or your ability to revise or relist existing listings, or create new listings will be disabled.

Please disregard this email if you’ve already updated your account details.

eBay now manages the end-to-end selling experience on our marketplace, including payments. This means:

• Simpler to get paid: Receive your eBay earnings in your bank account, not your PayPal account. We will initiate payouts within two business days of payment confirmation. • Simpler fees: Your eBay selling fees, expenses, and charges will be automatically deducted from your earnings before you get paid. No more PayPal payments processing fees or separate monthly fee payments!

Update your account details by May 21, 2021 to continue to create new listings, and revise or relist existing listings. If you miss the deadline, all your live listings will also be removed soon after.

That is an Ebay link and they've been sending out emails for almost 3 years when it's time to sign up for Managed Payments.

I Sent this email address eBay <ebay@reply5.ebay.com> to eBay to spoof@ebay.com  and they gave me this response:

It looks to me like this is a auto response because eBay has become so large they can not keep up.  

I need to know definitely one way or another  

HOWEVER 

I did get a reply from ebay  messages that stated  I did update my account information.    This is so unnerving.

It's always good to be cautious about links in emails.  Whenever I receive an email with a clickable link, I hover the link to expose the underlying URL. If hovering doesn't work, then I right-click-copy the link and paste it into a text page to examine the URL.

Legitimate eBay links will have ebay.com (or international site, like ebay.de for germany)  immediately  before the first single slash.

In the link that you posted, you will see that ebay.com does indeed occupy that position, so it is a legitimate eBay link.

https://ppcapp.ebay.com/bic/c2cliteonboardingglobal/payout?flowId= 

The ppcapp. in front of the domain name just points to one of eBay's servers, or subdomains; so that leading word can be just about anything and still represent a legitimate eBay link. The important part is just before the very first single slash.

Thus, this would NOT be an eBay page because ebay.com is not followed immediately by a slash:

https://ebay.com.member.id/  <-- spoof page

What I can not tell from your post is whether the underlying link for that posted URL matches the URL. If it does, the link is valid. If the underlying link does not match what is visibly displayed, and does not qualify as shown above, then the letter is a fraud.
