PaypPal text re account suspended.

Hi.  Can anyone offer advice?  I got a text (addressed correctly) purportedly from Paypal, saying that my account was about to be suspended.  With a link to click on to avoid that.  Thought it was an obvious scam, so ignored it.

But now, I can't access Paypal via eBay - the option has disappeared.  So: was the text genuine & I should have taken action?  Or has eBay removed access to Paypal accounts via their site?

Apologies: I'm an oldie who's pretty computer-savvy, but sometimes the pace of change gets me a bit confused....

Just login to your Paypal account and it will say. Or the app if you have a smartphone or tablet.

 

You were wise not to click on the link. Hope the text is from a scammer, not Paypal.
