That's actually the reason - eBay put the date of when the item the message is about is due to end, it'll switch to red to act like a little alert that the item's ending soon. 

 

Here's a quick grab from my message inbox - the one in red is an item that's 'ending' this afternoon (it's actually a GTC listing, but that's when it'll tick over).
