words of advice:

watch what emails you get, try not to click an ebay link that you recieved via email.

make sure if you are linked from one site to another (paypal,ebay) that the site has the correct link with correct spelling.

https:// will always be infront of paypal.com showing its a secure site.

ppl dont necessarily hack your account to gain access, they simply keylog or trick you into giving the pw up, normally via email or popup. Its much easier.

I would recommend changing your email passwords, ebay passwords, paypal passwords and if you do any banking online keep an eye on your accounts. If anything fishy turns up questions it immediately

THIS IS NO JOKE WHAT SO EVER!!!! I was selling an Acura TL Type-S a couple months ago and the same thing kind of happened to me. After the auction was over, someone hacked in and tried to put the car up for auction 3 times and it wound up screwing my whole account up and they froze it for about 2 weeks, same with paypal as well.

I feel that it had something to do with LimeWire (GARBAGE) that my dumba$$ friend put on my computer (without me knowing) but who knows. But be warned this does happen and it seems to be fairly common from what they (eBay) told me. They "were" having security problems, hopefully they fixed it.
