I can tell which links are from ebay and which redirect to realpm.co.jp.The spoofed pages posed no security risk unless some idiot decided to log in to the spoofed page after clearly being told not to. But I agree to air on the side of caution so I removed the links.
I clicked the ebay links and they all went to ebay pages. I know they're legit because they recognize my saved login. A spoof site would not.
I didn't click the links that weren't from eBay. I would sincerely hope that clicking any link on this page here would not redirect me to a real spoof site. If they do, kindly remove them.
But back to my original point....
People don't check the URL coming from a email as legitimate looking as that one. Especially the beginner to novice user which might make up maybe 60% to 70% of the user population. Especially since the items were recently posted for which the bot is completely aware.
