well, absulute no brainer I would say. stop and think about it for just a
few seconds and then answer your own question!!!
You have not bought and sold anything on ebay. are you even registered with 
ebay?

You have probably received enough junk email by now to be aware of the
messages referred to as phishing scams that pretend to come from
organisations such as paypal. they are sent out to many people including
those not registered with the organisations they claim to come from in order 
to hopefully catch a random few that are in fact account holders.

this is probably just a look-a-like website.

Also notice the date.  The item has an end date of June 07 2006. would you
wait 5 months if you had paid but hadn't received the laptop?
I am not an ebay user. if I were I could probably find a lot else obviously 
wrong with this message.

I wouldn't worry about anyone chasing you for money but I would worry if I
were you that you were taken in by this one.

Regards

Graham

Hi all,
I am not selling anything on ebay but this message seems like it might be
genuine and I wanted a second opinion.

Thanks

                        Marketplace Safety Tip

                               Always remember to complete your
transaction on eBay - it's the safer way to buy.

                               Please do not offer to buy or sell this
item through this form without completing the transaction on eBay. If you
receive a response inviting you to transact outside of eBay, you should
decline -- such transactions may be unsafe and are against eBay policy.
