I hope you reported it to Ebay, and pay pal.
I got one similar a week ago, and right away logged into my paypal account, (not via the email) to make sure there wasn't any reference to it on my account, then reported it with out clicking.
If you don't report it, they can't catch the bastards who want to steal your hard earned money.
You can't put a price on a good time.

Any e-mails like this you should just forward to spoof2 eaby.com, or same at paypal. I get these all the time. They try every ruse in the book. Allways go straight to you account at Ebay or Paypal, if it is questionable. these people are constantly fishing for information.

I go months without buying on ebay or using paypal, but everytime I do one or both, I get several of these bogus emails.
