Ebay Fraudulent Phishing Email Messages

I get so many phishing fraud email messages from Ebay, that I have come to the point where I am not sure I would click on any of them, even if Meg Whitman was sitting with me and assured me that it was alright to do so.

Look at the next two emails - are they both phising scams?  I would say that for sure the first one is, but I would actually think that the second one is fine.  HOWEVER - although the email was sent to my correct name and user name - it was sent to an email address of mine that I never remember using with ebay.  IF I remember correctly - it's an Ebay phishing email which is pretty frightening.
