    HELLO?

    NO I have not been phished.

    I telephoned and the email was genuine.

    See what is happening now is my post is being turned into a joke.

    Please people on moneysavingexpert, watch your ebay accounts like a hawk. I am so protective and yet it has happened to me.

    You don't seem to understand, this email may be genuine but somewhere along the line you have been compromised or phished as you don't wish to call it.

    That aside. Have you changed your passwords, if so, it should be on all your accounts, including your email. Even here :D

    Almost certainly you were phished prior to the email from eBay and then eBay spotted unusual activity.

    Perhaps the warning should be to always log in separately to Paypal every time.

    But actually, if you have a lappy like mine, it remembers the passwords without me having to. Also the issue is not with paypal it is with ebay.

    I don't think every ebay customer reads this forum ? I may be wrong.

    Surely you can choose?

    I can on mine and I never have automatic login on sites like ebay and paypal.Your computer could be hacked.

    You DO need to change your password.

    I can see that message in your inbox. :)

    Eh HELLO?

    I can't believe you are being so unreasonable.

    I have accounts with Citibank, Nationwide, Very.co.uk, Ebay, Trustpilot and this very web site, plus about 20 others. I cant remember every password. They all want them in a different format anyway. So thanks for trying to make me look stupid when this post was about helping.

    It was not clear from your post that the email was actually in your messages on your ebay account and not just an email sent to your email account.

    I always think of anything from ebay as in my messages.
