Fake... the word "Due" is capitalized when it shouldn't be, and everyone knows that's a dead giveaway for an eBay scam.
 
I got something similar to that, looked legit, but it was a scam. Best thing you should do is forward to eBay and ask if it is a scam, and also contact your bank.
 
I get so many Ebay scam emails...

Never have they ever been real. IF something important is going on with your account, when you are logged in they will force you to a page that notifies you of it and explains whats going on. don't trust the emails...

(although, I have always wondered how it hax0rs you when the links all seem to actually be going to Ebay.com? -- even when you view the source or right click on the link and hit properties to figure out where its going and it looks legit)

I would check.

I got one just like that. It said if i didn't send my info they would have to shut down my account. i just ignored it because I didn't care if my account got shut down if it was legit. well months later my account is still fine so i'm guessing it was a scam
 
You need to look at the HTML code of the email, posting the straight text is pretty useless (links can be spoofed with Javascript and the like).
