It happened to me last year. Logged in to find some scum had got into my
account and was trying to bang out fake tiffany jewellery.
I reported it to Ebay and they suspended the account. I e-mailed all the
bidders on the false auctions telling then of the situation.
Then I had to redo all my passwords for ebay and paypal. Once that was done
it was re-instated.
The whole thing took 5 or so days.
Sorry to hear this, hope the above helps.
