Thanks for the replies but it was Hijacked, access password was changed and my ebay account was used to send out alot of emails to people. Ebay reassures me that the matter has been rectified and all recipients of these emails have been informed to ignore them, I wish they told them the truth that I hadnt sent them but someone else had.

I have now been given access back all passwords obviously reset and changed. Paypal and email addresses unaffected fortunately and all passwords have since been changed. I had realised a possible way in which they could have gained access because Ebay give out 4 qs to verify security and you answer 2 or more, well a little searching had given away two very easy to answer questions. So A warning to folks out there who advertise phone numbers, post codes, birthdays favourite pets places people etc that you keep your ebay account details seperate and unused in any other forum, auction tool site or blogs.
