OP. a note of warning.
Be especially wary in future of emails purporting to be from eBay, Paypal, or your email provider, and if you have a mobile recorded with paypal be wary of sms's too. Very often these ebay scams are information gathering excercises (as paypal have processes in place that help protect against such scammers getting away with any $$s, even if you have paid). Their purpose is to collect your personal information that is made available to the seller following an ebay purchase, ie; your name, address, email, & paypal user ID (and mobile number if you provided it with address details on Paypal).
The scammers then use this information to construct very convincing looking emails/sms's that they send you at a later date, with a link provided that they request that you log in through in order to verify something or other to do with your account... which ofc doesn't work, and all you have in fact done is send them a copy of your password/s which they can then use to hack your account/s.
No matter how convinced you may be that an email from ebay/paypal, or anywhere else seems legit, NEVER log in to any of them via a link in an email, always log in through their home page or normal log in page.
