eBay Scam or Genuine Change in Policy

If they used your name in the email, its legit. Ebay changed over to Ebay Managed Payments, you need to provide bank info, just make sure you do it on the site, don't link to Ebay through email.

We have a bank account solely for Paypal, will probably hook it to that one.

Simplest and safest solution is what others have said - log onto your ebay account and check your messages from there.

With managed payments, ebay now requires bank info so they can deposit your money when you sell stuff.

this is legit - Ebay is getting away from PayPal - now requiring sellers to link through a bank account. deposits will take place every couple of days. you will no longer get a Paypal notification. Ebay will state the item is paid and you will need to ship before getting the money from the buyer.
