Hi

 

I received this email. No payment has been sent to my account.  Is this what happens when they suspend somesones account on eBay because it was suspicious

That is a spoof email. A spoof email is an email sent to someone that appears to have come from an organisation but doesnt. Neither ebay, nor paypal would send that message.

Forward it to spoof@paypal.com and spoof@ebay.co.uk for confirmation.

 

Dont send anything to that buyer Smiley Happy

Hi,

 

I agree with red-bay, it's not an email that would be sent by either eBay or PayPal.

 

Following red-bay's instructions is what you should do Smiley Happy
