BIG hole in eBay security

There is a big hole in the eBay iPhone app, a genuine security breach. When re-listing an item using the app, eBay alters your PayPal address, for instance changed mine from ".com" to ".co.uk".
eBay is denying there is a problem, but the chap I spoke to at PayPal says he's been dealing with these all week. If anyone was to, let's say, register email and PayPal accounts vaguely similar to yours, only with a different suffix, and your buyers pay to them... well, if they do enough of these fake transactions, there's hay to be made.
Be careful out there.
