Just an FYI to all using Paypal - I, today, received an email that looked as if it were authored by Paypal. I opened the email to check - due to my not having used Paypal for much else other than to pay for a few purchases every so often - and noticed that the Paypal email address this came from was NOT Paypal itself!!! PLEASE BE VERY CAREFUL!!! Double check WHERE the email is being sent from!!! This is the email address that my email came from - Paypal <removed>. Obviously, NOT from Paypal itself. The email stated I had made a payment in the amount of (and this is being typed exactly how it was in the email!) $26,50 USD. I checked and double checked my Paypal account and there were NO transactions in this amount (I have two separate Paypal accounts and made sure to check both!). At the very bottom, left corner of the email this also came up - radimersky on flickr (I'm going to assume that this is probably the nitwit who created the email and made the mistake of using flickr as their template! I just wanted to put this out there to make sure no one else is getting scammed!!! Also, to make sure Paypal is aware of the issue. If Paypal needs a copy of the email that was sent to me, I have a copy saved and would be more than happy to send it to them!
