Log on to your paypal directly (don't ever use the links in these emails) and have a look at the account. Almost certainly a scam....if you hover your mouse pointer over the llink you'll see what the link really is.

As Jeff says, it's more than likely a scam. If you're still unsure, forward it to your work address and see what happens

or forward it to the paypal fraud department

Paypal say that they never will ask for personal and/or confidential information through e-mails therefore im certain its a scam. As dave says, forward it to the fraud department.

In addition any e-mail from paypal will use your paypal/ebay id .... instead of "Dear Customer" it will say "Dear <userid>".

But as mentioned above log onto your paypal/ebay account directly.
