eBay Account Hacked!

    Just logged onto my eBay account to buy something, and as I was going through the purchasing sections, quickly spotted that my shipping address and details had been changed.

    My info had been changed to that for some foreign person with a UK address.

    Have quickly changed both my e-mail and eBay passwords.

    PayPal won't let me change my password for some reason tonight however :confused:

    Is there anything else I can do to safeguard myself?

    Is there any way I can view a list of IP addresses which have been accessing my eBay account like you can with gmail?

    Or can I get eBay to block any foreign IP addresses from my account?

    Any tips on how to protect my account?

    Did you contact eBay and/or PayPal about this? If not, then you should.

    Did you write down the address, name, email address etc that was put into your accounts? If you did then send the info to PayPal and eBay and let them investigate.
