The fake "Your Account Has been Closed Temporarily" email below is a scam. The fake email is being sent by cybercriminals who are attempting to trick PayPal users into clicking on the link in it. The link goes to a fake PayPal website that attempts to trick visitors into signing in. But, if they attempt to, their account credentials will be sent to the cybercriminals behind the scam.

We scan messages to enforce policies. Only purchases on eBay are covered by the Pay-Pal purchase protection programs. Asking your trading partner to complete a transaction outside of Pay-Pal is not allowed.
PayPal users who have been tricked by the scam are asked to change their PayPal password and contact PayPal for help.
To avoid getting tricked by these phishing scams, PayPal users are asked never to click on a link in an email message to sign into their PayPal accounts. They should always go to www.paypal.com and sign into their accounts from there. After signing in, PayPal will display important messages or notifications to them.
