Joe,

What's the exact address from which the email was sent?  Can you send my
privately a copy of the email, including all headers?  Maybe I can find out
something for you.

scam, and enterered my password on a fake site. I hadn't slept well the
night before and was pretty tired.

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.

listings with

>
> "During our last update, your eBay User ID, **JT***, and password were
denied as

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,
