This sounds like a phishing attempt. The url they give you looks like E-Bay, but it's not. Do NOT enter your pin/login information nor your credit card info.
The way they get the url to look right is that the E-bay url is embedded into the URL for their site. Most likely just an IP address. They build a web page that has the right look and when people go there, if they don't look closely, they'll think they were on E-Bay.
