Where did you find this message? Was it delivered to your email address, OR your email address AND "My Messages"? Go to 'My Messages' on eBay and see if the same thing is there. If it is, then this is completely legit.

Note top line:
---------------------- {{m2kitty is the winner}}

If this is shown in 'My Messages' then at some point in your eBay career, this item was sold through your account. If you didnt list it yourself, then somebody else has either done it without telling you, or you've been well and truely hacked {you can't fake the headers in 'My Messages'}

changes are, you've been hacked, and the hacker has confused the legitimate seller about where to send payment (probably via western union), and they are sending you the question to clear it up.

It does sound like a hacked account.
