If you go to the html body of the message and right-click and select view source you will see that the link does not go to ebay.com but actually redirects you to some bogus website designed for the sole purpose of stealing credit card and bank accounts. To make matters more complicated for law enforcement the redirected website is normally not in the US. So there is no jurisdiction for prosecution without an extradition agreement.
