The easiest way to prevent this from happening is to never click on a link you get in an e-mail. Pretty much every company you might want to give money to online makes it quite easy to get to the relevant page from their main website (and Ebay is particularly good about this). So instead of clicking on the Ebay link, just type www.ebay.com in your browser's URL bar (or bookmark it to save yourself some typing).
Just about every week a new bug is discovered in some browser or other that makes it harder for you as a user to tell what website you're actually looking at, even when you remember to check after clicking the link. You can't count on your browser's display to be accurate in this.
