Richard - it's not a scam. The websites are Microsoft and eBay. The scams where your passwords get stolen are at websites other then www.ebay.com (usually just displaying an IP address).

I'm a pretty regular poster here, just don't collect autographs, which is perhaps why we haven't spoken, but it's nice to meet you.

The only question in my mind is if this is some sort of system glitch. Obviously, if you're uncomfortable, feel free to leave it alone, but this looks legit to me.

Actually, I already got a confirmation message in my ebay "My Messages" that says:
"Hi Matt,
It pays to shop eBay! You've earned US $250.00 cashback. To get your money:

1. Click the Get cashback button to access or create your Microsoft account.
2. Microsoft will notify you that your cashback is available after 60 days (in case you decide to return your purchase).
Then, simply tell Microsoft which PayPal account you want your cashback sent to!"
