Yeah, it does suck....Start of the letter...
Dear 01buckeye,
It appears your account was accessed by an unauthorized third party and used to place several listings on eBay or to alter some of your current listings. Additionally, the email address on your account may have been tampered with, which is why you may not have received any emails about these listings.
At this time we have taken several steps to secure your eBay account. We were also able to end all unauthorized listings on your account without incident. At the time the listings were ended, all associated fees were credited to your account. Rest assured that your credit card and banking information is safe on the eBay site. This information is kept encrypted on a secure server and cannot be viewed by anyone.
To regain control of your account, please complete the following:
1. Change the password on your personal EMAIL account to verify that it is secure and cannot be accessed by anyone other than you.
2. Change the password on your eBay account. To do so, click the "Forgot your password" link on the eBay sign-in page and change your password using the instructions provided.
3. Follow the steps below to secure your account:
> Click on the "Security & Resolution Center" link found at the bottom of most eBay pages.
> Click on the "eBay Account Protection" link in the "Online Security Resources" box. This will take you to the help page titled "Securing Your Account and Reporting Account Theft."
> Follow the instructions provided in "Securing Your Account".
