I had an e mail today from above asking me to change my password, I have ignored it, I don't bother much with e bay anymore, but am I right thinking this is a scam ?
Ebay have been asking members to reset their passwords over the past few weeks after information got loose on their watch.
I've reset mine already but logged on to do it so as to be as sure as I could be that I was actually connected to their site.
It doesn't take long (by their standards) and it's a one-off.
Ebay recently have asked all of it's users to change their passwords due to a breach of security. If an email comes into your email account asking you to change your password - ignore it. If however, you log into the ebay website itself and you have a message from ebay in your ebay messages inbox - then yes, change your password.
Unless you are actually signed in to ebay itself, ignore any messages that come through.
