Messages from “buyers”?

So I recently listed an item on eBay and within perhaps a few minutes I received 2 messages from 2 different people stating the following:

We are pleased to inform you that your item has been successfully sold!

However, before you can receive your funds, we need to perform a small verification of your account.

[insert what I think is a link???]

Here's what you should do:

1. Copy the link above ↑

2. Paste this link into url address bar

3. Complete a quick identity verification

should I just ignore and delete the message???

Yes, ignore and delete. It's a scam phishing message. Any verification should be done in your account, not via a message. More details here:
