    Just forward it to
    They'll reply and tell you whether it's fake or legit within a few minutes. My hunch is that it's probably a phishing attempt.

    Its usually a phishing attempt if the link does not go paypal.com or the email address does not go to paypal.com.

    Like countryboy said, forward to and they'll get back to you, usually within a couple of hours for me, and they'll tell you. Furthermore, why would paypal want your tracking number?

    I do that for almost every paypal email I get that requires any extra participation.
