If paypal suspected there was a problem with your account they would tell you to log into your account and go to the resolution centre or the message centre.

 

They would not and do not ask you to log in and enter sensitive information via an unsafe link in an email.

 

That is SCAMMERS trying to hijack your paypal log in and financial info.
