It's a spoof, phished e-mail. No such credit card. I just confirmed
with
the powers that be in PayPal/eBay. The scams are good enough to
confuse
even ietf members. See the problem? How can someone tell this was a
phishing expedition?

Damned good one, they even got their URL into PayPal's FAQ:

https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_help-ext&leafid=1782

Either this is a whole new level of phishing, or the left hand doesn't
know
what the right hand is doing.  You tell me.

We need some tech guidance?

Yes, PayPal apparently needs some. guidance in getting their info pages
to correspond to their policy - see the above URL, see the mail I
quoted,
and then see this URL:

https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_help-ext&leafid=56413

Also might want to have another chat with your powers that be, they
seem to be out of touch with what their company and their business
partners over at Providian are actually doing.
