Has this every happened to anyone?

I had a card listed on ebay that supposedly sold. I promptly got an email from PayPal saying that I had received a payment from this dude (listed the proper amount and his name) but that I needed to create a paypal business account to "claim" the payment. All of my ebay sales, as sporadic as they are, go to a personal paypal. Why do I need to open up a business account? Also a little odd in that I subsequently send the guy a request for payment from my personal account which he hasn't responded to.

The Paypal email seemed entirely legit, and I mentioned properly referenced the "sale" amount and the high bidder.

All confusing. I guess I could call them.
