Dave,
 
This is not the only Paypal / EBay scam.  Here are two notes I received
after successfully selling a couple of items on EBay and using Paypal as the
agent.  I too had little luck figuring out how to notify either web site -
and never heard from either when I did.  I am assuming this particular group
is targeting EBay sellers; if you get the information for which they ask, I
suppose you could withdraw the accumulated monies from Paypal.  Both look
pretty realistic.  I do not know how the second one uses the Paypal URL to
steal your information ... I'll have to improve my  web programming
knowledge.
 
Steve

PROTECT YOUR PASSWORD

PayPal NEVER ask you for your Credit Card number or password and do NOT give
your password to anyone and ONLY log in at
https://www.paypal.com/. <https://www.paypal.com/>

Note: When you log in to your PayPal account, be sure that the
website's URL always begins with "https://www.paypal.com/";.
The "s" in "https" at the beginning of the URL means you are

logging into a secure page. If the URL does not begin with https, you are
not on a PayPal page.
