That message is the virus link. Hope you didn't click on it as I assume it invited you to link to a 'clean up' service, which will instal a virus, usually the type that scrambles your data and asks for a ransom. By loading an exe virus file like this it bypasses many virus protection.
It could have been dormant on your system for a while so probably nothing to do with the eBay link just coincidental timing as it activated on a randomly closed website to suggest to you that it was responding to a threat rather that it actually being the threat itself.
As said above do virus check quickly and back everything up if not too late.
These types of warning message are the new pop up virus source.
