It is 100% a spoof/scam.
Has somebody negotiated to buy a pricey item from you?
Have you given them access to your private email or Whatsapp?
That looks like the sort of email you are sent to confirm 'payment' - by a scammer.
The wording should alert you - the sentence beginning 'This effect may take ...' is not English grammar.
If you have sold an expensive item, do not send it until you have confirmation of payment from Ebay and the item is showing in 'orders' as 'paid, send now'.
You can forward the email to Ebay - use the link below.
Suspicious email
- Don't click any links in the email or open any attachments.
- Forward the message to us as an attachment at spoof@ebay.co.uk.
We'll let you know that we received the email.
"There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn't true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true.”
Søren Kierkegaard, Danish philosopher (1813 - 1855)
