Can you have a quick look at this & tell me if my Paypal has been scammed somehow?

Trying to make a purchase today I got a rejection notice from Paypal. I'll post an image of the rejection notice and also an image of what comes up when I try to log into my Paypal account. I didn't actually click on the link although you see the mouse hover over it. Apologies for the poor quality I took a photo of my screen.

They may have rejected your payment because the person you are trying to send money to is under investigation.

I don’t think the second screen looks genuine. It doesn’t look like that when I log in.

It reads the opposte to me, that paypal are trying to prevnt you being scammed by checking before they send your money

I've just tried to log in again, paying careful attention to the address bar & this time the Chinese message comes up in English. This is a supplier I regularly use so I'm not sure what's going on..

There's no place for me to say 'yes this is ok' though

I got the second photo this morning, looking at the address and padlock it seemed ok so I continued to web where my account came up. Just checked it again but no photo just went straight to paypal account.

Maybe I'm misreading it but it doesnt seem like they are expecting you to do aythinng, if it checks out they'll send the payment, if not I guess you'd have to pay by a dffeen method if you're happy to take the risk

Thanks for that @GreatBigExpectations I've just checked everything again. All my accounts are fine so I've no idea what's going on. The seller says they have no idea either.
