White Listing emails from eBay?

I think the issue is not that it's a false positive - I'd want to know
if it came from anywhere other than from eBay.

I'll investigate the DKIM suggestion from Martin - as a sticking plaster
though is emailebay.com a workable suggestion?

TIA

I wouldn't go that route... Who knows when they will suddenly be a
virus replicator?
I'd instead work on the problem from the other end... If it indeed is
a false positive, report it as such to ClamAV.
