 Facebook have changed the default displayed email address for your personal page from your own personal email address to their new Facebook system. So for example if your name is john smith, Facebook would have given you johnsmith@facebook.com or a close variation.

New facebook email address example

Any emails send to the new @facebook.com address will appear along side any direct internal messages in the notifications section of your page.

If you wish to stop using the new Facebook system and revert back to your own private email account it is fairly simple.
