Having big problems on ebay at the moment, twice in a week they've told me they think someone is hacking into my account

The first time was after I'd set up a listing, within half an hour it had disappeared with a message from ebay saying someone had tried to access my account and that I needed to change my password which I have done, then just now when I tried to log in they said they have temporarily locked my account and that they will ring me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Blimey, I've been on ebay for 6 years and have never had a problem before, this is scary!

Anyone else experiencing a similar problem?

Are the emails definitely from ebay? I've had emails before saying my account is going to be disabled and someone's hacking in but they were spam/phising emails.
Make sure the emails have actual details - i.e. are addressed to you personally by name not just to ebay member.

are you listing on a different IP address? I know they were going to list IP addresses to stop people listing from other computers (ie hacked account)

the messages are within the ebay site and no I'm not using a diff IP address, v strange.

I've changed my password on my email account too.
