As Gerrard says the "Dear ebay buyer" means dont bother looking any further. eBay always include your real name and username in any email they send, thats the only criteria you need to spot a fake.

Don't get me wrong guys, that gave it away to me too, it just happened when iwas ebaying so it made me think. Thought it might be best to stick it on here so the less PC literate among us would be aware

did it appear in your ebay mailbox or only in your non-ebay mailbox? If it's from ebay then it should appear in both.
