MAJOR hack of eBay accounts
This happened TWO MONTHS ago and they only NOW got around to advising users to change their passwords? And they won't admit how many were stolen, but they do say "a large number of accounts"?
Unconscionable!

And it took two more weeks to announce it? And WHERE is the announcement on eBay's home page (or when you go to sign in)?
They seem far more concerned with "managing" this than with alerting and protecting their customers!

Still, happens to the best of them. My credit card got 'stolen' off a website I had made a purchase on recently, seems I was one of thousands. My bank saw a transaction on my card that didn't fit with my normal patterns and stopped the payment and froze my credit card.
It was $9.30 at a Millenium Mall (somewhere in the world). So no harm done but still, very frustrating - the first I knew of it was when the bank contacted me (via text) to ask me to call them about the unusual activity. When I checked with the website it seems they knew and had been taking steps to fix their site but hadn't got round to letting their customers know. Grrrr.

They recognize that many auctions were affected by bidders who forgot to change their passwords on snipe programs, and they have announced that any seller can cancel auction transactions for an 11-day period!
Of course, this will infuriate the high bidders on those items, who rightfully won, and now are having those items taken away from them (it is up to the seller to decide, and of course they will cancel any result they deem too low, regardless of whether there were any missed bids at all).
While this may gain eBay some good feeling from auction sellers, it will likely be more than offset from bad feelings from auction bidders, but I suspect the main reason for this is to protect themselves from seller lawsuits.
