I have a Paypal account and use it quite often associated with my eBay business. A few times I have gotten suspicious email supposedly from Paypal. I always go to my Paypal account and forward these emails to their fraud department.
I just got one in my email today, forwarded it to Paypal and sure enough it was phishing. Here is Paypal's answer to my email forward.

What is a phishing email?
Phishing emails attempt to steal your identity and will often ask you toreveal your password or other personal or financial information. PayPal will never ask for your password over the phone or in an email and will always address you by your first and last name.
