faked, which tends bear out the email's authenticity, but this isn't
conclusive as there is information within the original email that can be
checked to confirm this. However that information doesn't make it
through the Westmont email list server, so I can't be certain that it is
genuine from your email to the list.
If you've forwarded it on to spoof at ebay.com then I'd suggest waiting for
their response. If as the email suggests your password has been changed
by ebay they should confirm it and can then follow the instructions
given in the email.
If they deny it then I'd be inclined to think that your ebay account has
been hijacked and then you'll probably need to ask their help recovering it.
Let us know how you get on, and I hope that it is eBay that have changed
the password on you and not some evildoer.
Locks only keep honest people honest people out and unfortunately the
same principle applies to computer security.

<div>In my experience, eBay doesn't change your passwords or userids unannounced. They will ask you to change it/them tho', and they will freeze your account if they don't like what they see.</div> <div>Tom<BR><BR><B><I>Don Harvie <donharvie at yahoo.com.au></I></B> wrote:</div> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid">planeseller wrote:<BR>> The bad news is that I cannot access my account, it comes up with an invalid <BR>> password.
