Try Navigating to ebay without using the link so you know for sure you are on ebay and the try to log in, if there is a problem it will tell you then

this is a new one as i have had most of them. it could be that someone may have already had access to you account and ripped someone off or sold some iffy goods in which case you would find out in your my ebay account if you can still access it . as far as i am aware ebay never ask you to verify your account as they have your details so they don't need you to verify them.
sometimes if you have your credit card info on there and the card expires. if you can still use you ebay account in the normal way then i would say its a %100 scam and never enter your details .If you can no longer log into your account then i would guess its been already been used by someone else and they could have sold items and you could end up with the ebay fees also a closed account . just try to access you account from your normal link and not the one on the e-mail
you can forward the e-mail here [email protected]. takes them a couple of days to reply .

from ebay site

Hello,

Thank you for contacting eBay's Trust and Safety Department about email
solicitations that are falsely made to appear to have come from eBay or
PayPal. These emails, commonly referred to as "spoof" messages, are
sent
in an attempt to collect sensitive personal information from recipients
who reply to the message or click on a link to a Web page requesting
this information.

The email you reported did not originate from, nor is it endorsed by,
eBay or PayPal. We are very concerned about this problem and are
working
diligently to address the situation. We are currently investigating the
source of this email to take further action. You may rest assured that
your account standing has not changed and that your listings have not
been affected.
