    Not a probable scam - a definite scam.

    You didn't click any links in the email did you? If you did, I'd recommend changing your password on your e-Bay (and paypal to be sure) accounts ASAP.

    I get these all the time, I just delete them straight away.

    No, I didn't. I also get loads of others but this is the first one of this type I've had as it's not actually pretending to come from eBay.
