You all may recall that yesterday I fell for a pretty sophisticated eBay scam, 
and enterered my password on a fake site. I hadn't slept well the night before 
and was pretty tired.

Immediately I changed passwords at eBay, Paypal, and my ISP. In fact I have 
changed them twice. I removed all cards and bank information from Paypal. There 
is a card that eBay won't let me remove, but it has expired.

Today I received what appears to be a legitimate Paypal message. I am baffled 
by it. I am not a seller, and don't even know what "updating service for 
auction listings" might be.

"Dear Joseph Tainter,

"You are signed up for PayPal's daily updating service for auction listings 
with 
PayPal logos for eBay.

"During our last update, your eBay User ID, **JT***, and password were denied 
as 
invalid by eBay. Therefore, your listings were not updated with PayPal logos."

As I say, the message does seem to have come from Paypal.

Did the thieves somehow manage to get into my Paypal account despite the fact 
that I changed the password twice?

Appreciate any advice. I have written to Paypal, but expect no help there.

Thanks,

Joe
