You are receiving this notification because PayPal is required by law to notify you at least quarterly of the availability of your online account statement.

To report errors in your statement or make inquiries, click the Contact Us link in the footer on any page of the PayPal website, call our Customer Service center at (402) 935-2081, or write us at: etc.etc.

The thing is, I don't have a Paypal account!! I almost registered for one more than six months ago, but gave up when I saw they wanted too much info. But maybe that partial registration 'took'? Still, this is the first notice I have from them, and as they did state 'quarterly', it has my hackles up. The linked website looks legit, is it? The only other thing I can think of is that I am an eBay member.
Pls let me know if the above is common and legit, thanks.
