 Paypal Question...
I've got an email from paypal with the subject, "Please Return Your Account to Regular Standing"
Email
We are sending you this notice because you have received more than 4,500.00
GBP in total payments to your PayPal account. You may have already received
a similar notice.
PayPal is required by law to comply with European Union Anti-Money
Laundering regulations to collect information from customers when they
receive more than the set limit in total payments. Please log into your
account, go to the Account Overview page, and follow the instructions there
about how to provide the required information. These steps need to be
completed as soon as possible to comply with this regulation.

When I login into paypal theres nothing there, what exactly does this email mean?
Thanks.

Most likely a fake. Did the email address you by your name or as Dear PayPal user e.t.c
Its only a real paypal email if it addresses you as Dear [your full name], Also check the links go to the actual paypal website and not a fake. When you hover over the link look in the bottom left hand corner, if its not paypal.com dont click it.
Anyway from what you have shown its most likely a fake.

the thing is Paypal is not for "large lump somes", like when I sold my website and received over $1000 for it, I got tons of emails telling me I had to do a bunch of stuff to protect it and verify it.

I guess the only way you're going to find out is to call...

Its real. You get it once you go over 4,500 and then every £10,000 you make.
Just fill in the details and your grand.
