[QUOTE="ziggy29, post: 13336, member: 1113"]This sounds like phishing to me. Do you still have this e-mail or ones before it purportedly sent by eBay? Did it contain a link to a web site to enter your account information? If so, when you click it does it go to a site outside of the ebay.com domain? If so, you've been phished and your account has been compromised. As a general word of caution to all, a lot of times the ultimate goal isn't to hack eBay accounts -- it's to get into PayPal accounts, which are often (mistakenly) set up with the same password as the eBay account. So if they cracked the eBay account, they'd have your PayPal account hijacked, too. Anyway, if any of this applies to you, contact eBay immediately.
