Gosh it wasn't easy to find the actual ebay info on this...You'd think it would be on the main log in page...
It sounds like later today they will send a email suggesting password changes... http://announcements.ebay.com/2014/0...84.m2301.l3955 http://www.ebayinc.com/in_the_news/s...assword-change

eBay is swamped with people wanting to change their passwords. Just tried it. They tell you that when you try to sign in. They say your account is secure and not to worry about anything and to try and sign in again and then you can change it. They also say that no activity can occur on your account until your password is reset. So I doubt that you can buy or sell anything until you
change your password. Good deal on their part I think.

My daughter just told me that if we use the same password and email address that we use for eBay on any other sites, then we need to go to all our other sites and change the passwords there as well.
