Looks legitimate to me. I wouldn't have done it though:

Sounds too easy and too good to be true.

The catch seems to be that it's only $5 per referred person for up to 10 people for up to $50, each has to sell on ebay, and each has to never have sold on ebay, and some more fine print I suppose... That's too much work for a potential of $5 per person for me

There's no such thing as a free lunch...
Personally, I'd just ignore it. If you *are* looking to make a few bucks that doesn't involve iffy spam emails, here's a link I ran across a while back: http://www.dumblittleman.com/2006/10...-internet.html
