Sounds like a HOAX!!! Never click a reply to them or paypal or anyone experts here can tell you how they get your information to steal and hack! I just know you don't reply.

Unless you can't copy correctly, the spelling is a dead giveaway that it is a hoax. Probably from Asia. Definitely not an English, American fluent writer. Hope tou didn't answer.

When you receive any communication from ebay, the "e" is not capitalized, the "b" is. It's spelled eBay, not Ebay. Don't bother to answer. If he can't spell the name of the company he supposedly works for, he won't be there tomorrow. The email you received is a scam. If they lost your information, how do they know you are an eBay user? Forward the email to eBay, with all the headers. They will be happy to respond for you
The light at the end of the tunnel will turn out to be an oncoming train.
