Why?
Like Ebay and all the others, they tell you no information will ever be requested through an email or a redirect. They will always wait until you log in.

Don't delete it, ebay has a spam email address where you can forward that kind of stuff.

I get those stupid things all the time - pain in the neck.
I don't even have a paypal account :?
(ya good rule to go by no bank or other service should ever ask for info via Email and best alway to use your own link to a site, some of the really mean one will take you to the real site but have a pop up login thats fake over the real site.. want to be extra safe on the real site could alway put the wrong password in on the first try to see what happens Lol...)
