***If You Have Already Paid***
If yo...

The thing is, I didn't purchase these beads, perhaps I bid on them...it doesn't explain why this was sent to me.  I've tried to search on this site for an answer, but can't seem to find one.

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

When ever ebay removes an item anyone that had a bid on it will receive an email similar to this in case you were looking for and wondering where the item went.

Ignore it

They would have sent it out to everyone that had bid.

It is a standard boiler plate blurb that they send out to bidders when an item is removed.

eBay also may send these out to all bidders since a seller may have fraudulently contacted you to purchase outside of the auction format.  

Or the seller may have sent Second Chance offers to all bidders, giving you the option to Buy It Now at your bid price.  Hence why they note "***If you have already paid***..."
