i assume this is a scam to get people to give them your paypal login info. again, i am assuming. can anybody confirm this?

the reason i think is because they sent the email to me at 3 different email addresses, none of which are my paypay email or my ebay email.

be careful. here's the email i received:
(notice: they don't even address me by name)

I think you right Jack.I think it is remote chance that paypay and ebay would have a joint site---amd no reply to email is coup-de-grace. It might be wise to report it it and not sure I would even click on link. You might want to edit link out to keep others from inadvertantly clicking on it,just to be safe.
