did you change the link to an actual one?
 since it would not be a good idea to have the link from fake emails encase someone does accidentally click it

its the real one, I didnt think about it, clicking on it is OK, it filling the forms in, that are dangerous.

But I do say this from previous conversations, never give out passwords.

Just go directly to paypal and log in to a known good link. IF there is a problem you can handle it from there. DO NOT CLICK LINKS IN PAYPAL/EBAY EMAILS.

Usually they are scams, if you copied then you will have gotten the top, reference, link rather than the real one they are directing you thats hidden underneath.

If you have a hotmail account then there is a new option to report phishing scams in the spam box.
