    Thanks for letting us know.
    Although it's a bit disheartening knowing they accessed eBay a few months ago but only realised 2weeks ago.

    The stuff from Ebay says Paypal wasn’t affected, & I have had nothing from Paypal about needing to change password?

    They do ask you to change it even though they have no breeches of there security while they investigate.

    A bit on the ABC lunch time news, some dude who reckons he knows it all suggested that as Paypal and eBay are so intimately entwined then as a precaution change both passwords.

    Thanks TimE & BA.
    As far as Paypal goes the worst that could happen to me is that a hacker could find out what I’ve spent. I always maintain a zero balance in Paypal & have it linked to a debit card on which I only keep a balance of a couple of bucks, adding funds as I spend.
