Problem with ebay phishing auction

I'm not sure what to do, I was searching on ebay when I came across this auction: (don't click!!)

http://cgi.ebay.com/Rare-1993-Bandai-Sa ... 3a65f08b59

When the auction is browsed a window pops up prompting for your username and password. I tried reporting this page to ebay, but you can't type in what is wrong. You can only pick from a drop down box. How do I go about reporting this item/seller?

:EDIT: all of their auctions do this. :/

Despite the warning I clicked it and clicked the question mark to get rid of it.

I'd contact Ebay directly and tell them about it and link to the auction.

But how do I do that? All I can find are drop down boxes...

eBay is ridiculously bad at anything but automated customer service these days.

The Consumerist has a list, with annotations in the comments, here: http://consumerist.com/2008/06/all-the-secret-paypalebay-email-addresses-and-phone-numbers-you-could-ever-want.html

Also, the live chat is still in existence:https://cschatlb-na.corp.ebay.com/chat.asp?profile=12

Worth a shot....

send an email to spoof@ebay.com That's one of the problem reporting email accounts. It's more for spoof emails, but this would fit into that too.

There's spoof@paypal.com as well for that end of the chain.
