That's bogus -- most E-mail from eBay says that they never ask for billing 
information (see http://pages.ebay.com/help/account_protection.html ).

>Anybody have any ideas of what it is?

Most likely a kid trying to get your credit card number.

>Should I send it to anti-virus vendors?

I wouldn't bother -- it's most likely not a virus.

http://www.DNSstuff.com/tools/ptr.ch?ip=66.136.167.121 shows that the 
E-mail was sent from a swbell DSL line in St. Louis, MO.  I'd contact 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]  However, the mailserver name (mail.hannibalpd.com) is 
for a police department in St. Louis, MO -- so it may actually be the 
Hannibal Police Department's mailserver that this scam was sent from!

Definitely send an E-mail to abuse@ hannibalpd.com, and chief@ 
hannibalpd.com.  I'm sure a police department would be interested in 
knowing that their mailserver was being used in a scam.
