Exclamation Is this a scam?

I was going to ask my mom for the info to confirm it, but then I realized it looks really fishy. I'm going to call tomorrow but maybe you guys could save me some time.

I got this email:

eBay Email ID PP007



When I went to the site it asked me to confirm all of this information (and the site looked authentic), but it was asking for credit card info, drivers liscense #'s, a bunch of stuff that I don't think I ever told eBay about in the first place.
