How does someone get my ebay password?

I have ebay which i usually buy & sell a few items. There's only 2 people who know my password myself & my boyfriend. The other day i woke up checked my email to find listing confirmed for a 1977 car (forget what kind) well we never listed it or do i have that car. The only weird thing is thats my birth year. My password isnt an easy one so i dont understand how someone can do that. All my passwords are different for ebay, paypal, email etc.... Needless to say i contacted ebay changed my password.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker

if you received an email that seemed to be from ebay asking you to confirm your password or settings then it would be logical to assume that you are the victim of a phishing scan. It goes like this, you get an email that looks just like an ebay email, it contains a link to sign on and verify something with your ebay account, the site looks like ebay but if you check the actual address in the address bar it will not be ebays address, then they post bogus stuff on your site, have the payment shipped to them and then never deliver, they keep the money and you get a bad rating, if you get any emails in your inbox from ebay or paypal or any other place that handles your money in some way, you should type the address directly in the address bar yourself and check your account that way, if they dont have anything on your account telling you what the email told you then its a scam and you should report it immediately

thank you
Ebay is a scam in itself the way they have a monopoly with Paypal and force sellers to use them to accept payments so they make more money. Ebay is becoming a terrible place to sell and will soon become a thing of the past. There are some HUGE changes coming soon so watch out!!!
