It then showed a link that had the description and auction number of one of my ebay completed auctions. They just happened to pick the ebay name of a buyer that
I was having shipping cost issues with so I feel for it and clicked on the link. It then took me to an ebay page where I had to sign in. I then foolishly entered my ebay name and password and click login. This is where their trickery fell apart. Up popped a Yahoo page link that said the yahoo page was no longer valid!

Once again the scammers are getting better at tricking you into believing that you are entering ebay and need to sign in.

Final warning is still the same, don't ever log in ebay using a link! Always type the address in yourself!
