hiya, always always if in doubt contact paypal, I've had dodgy emails requesting my paypal info before and after I'd forwarded them to paypal they confirmed it was a scam.
The scam with the bank account happens a lot, you get notification that a payments been made so you post the item off, then paypal don't get any money from their bank account and the back up credit card's been cancelled so they get the money back off the seller. You're out of pocket. Usually involves posting goods to a diff address than the registered paypal one, often another country. I always wait 3 days before I post anything abroad if they've paid by paypal just to be sure the money's gonna stay in my account.
