If you get an email asking you to go to ebay's web site and pay your fees,
watch out, it's a scam.
However, I'm sure that a lot of folks will fall for it (I suspect no one
here will, however) 
It goes without saying, EBAY and other legit businesses don't operate this
way. (especially with a  24 hour deadline)

The link looks like EBAY, but it's not:

<a
href="http://ns.zonasiete.org/.eBay/eBayISAPI.php?MfcISAPICommand=SignInFPP&
UsingSSL=1&email=&userid=">http://signin.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?OneTi
mePayment&ssPageName=h:h:sin:US</a>

It's really taking you to ns.zonasiete.org

These scam artists are getting really tricky - we get messages telling us to
go to our bank site - how in the world did they know we actually use that
bank???? Or was it a guess. The message in that case is actually well
crafted and clever. Our bank is concerned because the message is so good and
believable. (I forwarded them a copy advising them to be on the lookout)

Be careful........... If in doubt, call the business before acting.
