In order to protect the security of your eBay account, we have reset your
password and secret question. This action was taken because your password may
have been compromised.

We cannot disclose the investigative procedures that led to this conclusion, but
please know that we acted in your best interest. We appreciate your cooperation
in working with us to protect your account by taking the following steps.

Since your password was reset, you will need to create a new password by
following the instructions provided below. Until you complete this process, you
will not be able to bid on or list an item.

1. Click on the "site map" link at the top of most eBay pages.
2. Click on the “I forgot my password” link located in the middle column under
the “Services” heading.
3. Follow the listed directions until you have successfully changed your
password. DO NOT use the same password you used previously.
4. After you enter your User ID on the “Forgot your password” page, you may be
asked your “secret question.” If you do not have the correct answer to your
secret question or if your secret question was reset, click on the “Send me
password instructions” link below the “Continue” button on the “Your Secret
Question” page to begin creating a new password.

IMPORTANT: In addition to changing the password on your eBay account, please
change the password on your personal email account. If your old eBay password
was also the password for any other online account you use (PayPal, etc.), we
recommend that you immediately change those passwords as well. To maintain
password security, each one of your online accounts should have a different
password. Even a slight difference (one letter or number) offers substantial
protection.

Taking these steps will ensure you are the only one that has access to your
account. Also, please remember the following guidelines when it comes to
password security:

1. Be wary of emails appearing to be from eBay that include links to pages that
require you to sign in, as these are often attempts to collect your password
information. Make sure that the Web site you are directed to is a part of the
eBay site. Please note this email does not provide a link, but asks that you go
directly to eBay. Always make sure that you're on an eBay page before giving out
your eBay password or credit card information. The best way to ensure that you
are on the eBay site is to type www.ebay.com into the Web address window of your
browser.

2. Make sure your password is difficult to guess, and uses a combination of
letters and numbers.

3. Don't use the same password on eBay that you use on your email account, or on
other Web sites.

If you need help with this situation, please reply directly to this email.

Thank you for your cooperation and patience in this matter.

Regards,

Customer Support (Trust and Safety Department)

I had the same email... I was just smart enough not to respond. Ebay will never ask for passwords and such via email. If it seems suspecious, ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS contact the company to check it out. One stupid mistake can cost you either a bunch of cash or your identity or both...
