Paypal Spoof Mail Warning

I just received a paypal email: receipt of payment. It was addressed to my name stating I paid/purchased an iPod and ship to somebody (with complete name and address to tx) and stated unconfirmed address. Also stated if I did not made the purchase to "click here" link that will direct me to dispute resolution site.
Looks authentic the only thing that catches my attention is that since I use yahoo mail, I blocked my html graphics and when I open the email nothing shows except for my name and the rest is html. I checked my paypal account first before viewing the graphics. My account is ok. I will be changing my email add.
I checked the item# on ebay and the seller of that item# is NARU and the seller ID stated whom I paid is also NARU.
I think there is a security flaw in ebay and paypal system. I only use this email for paypal. I have a different ebay email address.
I already reported this to spoof@paypal.com

It was addressed to my real name. I was really surprised. When I registered for yahoo email I use a fictional name and nickname on yahoo is just my last name. Spoof paypal mail addressed to me with first and last name. That's why I was thinking there might be a security flaw in both paypal and ebay system.
