Email for payment notification

I received a notification of payment, but the content of the email seems sketchy, and the email address is not a "PayPal.com".  It is something that doesn't seem at all related.  I'm definitely spooked about sending the item.  Should the payment notification come from a paypal.com address?

 

Thanks!

@DLM2  Spoof emails are a way scammers get Sellers to ship before getting paid.  Check both your PayPal balance and your eBay Sold file to make sure payment has been received.  If you have payment and PayPal says it is okay to ship and eBay Sold file shows payment received then you are okay.  Otherwise ignore the email.
