Phishing for Ebay Username and Password

Yesterday I got a question from an Ebayer with 300 Positive feedback. It was a legitamate question in MyEbay. I opened it and it read:

Please confirm if this is the same item with the one listed on: 

 pl-bayisapi.front.ru/item977478728

I have changed this link so noone gets sucked in by accident. So when I went to the link, it prompted me for my Ebay User name and my password. Out of habit I started to enter my username and then it hit me that this was not an ebay site. It was a phishing site. That is were they steal your information and then use your account and steal you money and business. Please be aware of this new scam.
