Hi
I was searching through my wifes junk folder on hotmail and came across EXACTLY the same (I wasnt snooping but clearing it out for her..honest) Same date, same goods, same amount ,same everything by the sound of it. She does not even have a Paypal account ! Last thing she would buy is a 'LAVA HD8008 OmniPro Omni-directional Outdoor HDTV Antenna' !!
I dont know what it is but strongly suspect it is some sort of phishing email designed to get you to chase it down and cancel it so somehow record your Paypal login details blah blah.
I recommend, DO NOT select it just 'right click and delete' as with any other suspicious emails.
Close your browser to clear it, reopen browser and check your paypal account separately to make sure nothing has left your account.
If by chance it has contact paypal (of which I would be mightly surprised)
All the best
