According to what can be determined from reading the instructions 
instructions at ebay:

The spoof(at)ebay.com and paypal.com addresses are parsers that can only 
deal with messages forwarded to them intact in the same way that spam 
can be forwarded to spamcop.net

These addresses can not deal with spamcop.net formatted reports and if 
you send them anything other than the spam in the format that the 
ebay/paypal parser expects it will simply send an auto-reply that it 
could not parse the message.
