I too had an email purporting to come from Ebay. It basically said that they were suspiciious of an unauthorised transaction on my ebay/paypal account and would I send account details for verification. I emailed ebay for clarification and they told me it was not from them. I sent them details of this false email and as far as I am aware they have made the necessary investigations. BEWARE BEWARE BEWARE
