Check the email is not a spoof and whatever you do, DO NOT login to Ebay from the link provided in the email.
If it is a spoof / fake email it will send you to a fake site and grab your login details when you enter them...

Looks real to me I am afraid to say...

The box below contains the User IDs that this member has used on eBay.
This person's no longer a registered eBay user.
User ID Effective Date End Date

Strange thing is, you have never sold anything on there!

they did start terminating or suspending accounts of people who registered but don't use their accounts within a certain time frame could be something to do with that.

Maybe someone hijacked the account. Someone using that account must have done something naughty because you've been banned from even opening a new account!

I had something similar a few months ago - logged into my eBay account and found some strange things on there that I had been 'watching', I don't think. Luckily the credit card details on Paypal were for a card that I no longer use and had expired. But it doesn't bear thinking about what could have happened!

You must have had your account hacked by logging in from a dodgy link somewhere.
