EBay never asks for credit card or bank information.
Michaelr, there is no problem here with EBay. The joker here is the dot ac termination, which sends your missive to the island of Ascension, as mesophist pointed out, rather than to the real EBay.
I thought of sending a "heads-up" to the island administrator, but my Email address was asked for. I have no way of knowing if the site is secure or not.
