Your "billing updates" (whatever the he** those are) are out of order (whatever that means).
GET 'EM IN ORDER (by replying with your password) OR WE WILL NOT LET YOU SEND US ANYMORE MONEY.
My general rule of thumb is that ebay has no reason to contact me whatsoever. If I see an ebay email, it is trashed immediately.
I pay monthly, automatically, with credit card on file (tax purposes).
I have been on ebay since 03/00 and they have only contacted me (legitimately) ONCE to spam the new version of their website.
Just trash it - but get used to it...I get about one of those things a week.

Any email that says "Dear eBay user" or "Dear paypal user" or "Dear (your email address)" it is a scam.
No need to even read any further--just forward to the proper "spoof" address for ebay or paypal.
