If you followed the link in that e-mail, you should go to PayPal right now and make sure things are okay.
Agree. Paypal/eBay warns you not to respond to those links. I never have and have not had any problems (knock on wood). I use PayPal frequently and am very satisfied with it. I did have a few issues with stuff I bought in the past, but had it resolved on my favor when I filed claims. With over 300+ transactions as both a buyer and seller, I'm fairly confident with it --- yet I remain vigilant.
