First of all, this email came to an address that is not even in the eBay system. I use a hotmail account for that. Second, look at the "from" address - it is obviously not from eBay.
Next, if you mouse over the link they provided, (don't EVER click these!!) and look at the bottom of the screen in the left corner, the url is a bunch of nonsense. It doesn't go to eBay.
When you get one of these, or suspect it is fake or a spoof, report it to eBay immediately. Click here for a tutorial on how to identify and handle these spoof emails. Trust your instincts and never, ever click the links in these emails.If you want to check out your eBay account to see if there is really a problem, open another window in your browser and log into eBay the regular way. If you have been suspended, you will see a message there.

Thanks, Suzanne. I just checked my email, and lo and behold, this email was sitting in my spam email box!
This looks like phishing to me. Trying to scare us to give our personal info out to them. I always look at the link.
I get tons of these for PayPal and banks that I don't even use. I always send them on to the bank or PayPal so they can (hopefully) take care of it.
