my ebay and hotmail acounts HIJACKED

in Techie Stuff
I went to log on to my Hotmail account yesterday and found that my password had been changed........along with my Ebay account.
Eventually spoke to someone at Ebay via a 'Live Chat' who explained that someone had hijacked my Ebay account and had started selling designer handbags that afternoon.
I have now regained access to my hotmail account and the ebay account has been suspended. I have also advised my credit card company and they have cancelled my card although the credit card nor Paypal had not had any activity.
I am at a loss to know how this happened - both the accounts had different passwords and I run up to date AVG virus protection and use Spybot.
Where did I go wrong and should I now be concerned about my online banking? (although I have informed them and changed all my passwords)
It was 4 hours of stres last night getting it sorted so any advice to anyone else would be most beneficial.

Hi,
This exact same thing happened to me yesterday! I also regularly update my AVG and my passwords. It will be interesting to find out how they got hold of your password bcos I am still stumped!"He's a maniac, maniac that's for sure,
He will kill your cat and nail him to the door" :eek:
