my eBay was hacked (useful info)

I discovered this morning my eBay account was hacked by "someone" overseas.
I couldn't log in with my password.

Called the ebay support number to recover password.

Found out that someone changed my email address and password without me knowing.
I had 8 pages of messages in German for all kinds of electronic items.
Apparently this person was trying to get the sellers to send items outside eBay and paypal.
One person said they bank in Ulster (Great Britian) account number was not working.

1. Sellers don't fall for the "I'll pay you cash, you can save on fees trick"
2. Account holders check your account information to be sure no changes have been made regularly.

This happened on Mar 8, I just discovered it.
I guess I need to check my account more often.

Good luck all.
