Dear chabar1981,
It appears that your eBay password has become known to a third party.
It is possible that an unauthorised third party found out your password using a "spoof" email. These are fraudulent emails made to appear as if they were sent by eBay. Spoof emails attempt to collect your password or other personal information, usually by asking you to click on a link in the email and sign into a spoof website.
To protect the security of your eBay account, we have reset your eBay password and Secret Question (password hint question). As a result, you won't be able to sign into your eBay account with your current password. Please follow the instructions in this email to restore access to your eBay account securely.
Here's what you should do now:
1) Choose a new eBay password
2) Change your Secret Question
3) Update your information in Turbo Lister
4) Protect against spoof emails
We recommend that you print out this email as a reference in case you have further questions.
1) Choose a new eBay password
We have changed your eBay password and Secret Question to something random. Here's how to choose a new password:
1. Go to the eBay homepage and click on "My eBay".
2. Click on "Forgot your password?" on the sign-in page.
3. Answer two of the questions from your contact information (such as your postcode and Date of Birth) as we have changed your Secret Question.
4. Check your email for the "Forgotten Password" email.
5. Copy the link in this email into the address bar of a new browser window. Do not click on the link.
6. Enter and confirm your new password.
Tips for secure passwords:
Choose a completely new password, preferably a random combination of letters and numbers. This password should be different to all of your other online passwords.
Never give your password to anyone else. eBay will not ask you for your password or credit card details in any communication.
If you used your old eBay password for other services such as PayPal or online banking, you should choose a new password for those accounts as well.
2) Change your Secret Question
Please change your Secret Question and check that your eBay registration information is correct. Once you have created a new eBay password, you can update both your Secret Question and your registration information in My eBay, under "Personal Information".
3) Update your information in Turbo Lister
If you use Turbo Lister for selling on eBay, it is important that the information in Turbo Lister - including your eBay password - is the same as in My eBay.
Here's how to update your details in Turbo Lister:
1. Click on "Tools" in the Turbo Lister menu bar, then on "Options".
2. Make the necessary changes in "My Data".
4) Protect against spoof
Never sign into eBay via a link in an email. The safest way to access your eBay account is to type "www.ebay.co.uk" into the address bar of your internet browser and then click "Sign in" or "My eBay".
Always check your My eBay. Most emails from eBay or sent via the eBay system will be available in My Messages. If you are in doubt about an email you receive, forward it to us at
We encourage you to visit our Safety Centre for more tips on protecting against spoof and buying and selling safely on eBay. To get there, click on the "Safety Centre" link at the bottom of the eBay homepage.
