Hmm I don't use ebay all that much but I have never had them ask me to

If you Google the terms:
ebay password change notification

your reputation because you buy a lot and have built up trust. They will
now start buying lots of stuff with bad credit.

I am not quite that active, but I have never had Ebay ask me to
change my password. Are you a powerseller?
