Ebay password issues

[griffin]

For those who were watching the news a few days ago, there was said to be a hack/breach of Ebay security, and we were told to change our passwords.

I tried logging into ebay today and it is forcing me to reset my password, but it isn't working.
It says that it will send an email for me to follow instructions to reset the password, but no matter how many times I click to resend the email, nothing shows up (and I started this about 3 hours ago).
It does note my partial email address as being correct (it has my domain name being correct, so even if someone had changed the bit before the @ in my ebay profile, I should still get all emails to that domain).

And calling up the help line has a recorded message saying that it will be a 44 minute wait... I can't sit on a mobile phone for that long.

Has anyone else had any problems?

I've reset my password with no problems.

Just finally got an email to update the password... and have changed it.

Something others need to do, and maybe be aware that there could be issues resetting it (or it was just my bad luck).

Sounds like just bad luck there Griffin. I changed mine without issue. Just a quick note for those who use the sniper apps, don't forget to change your password there too. Don't use them but have heard some grumbles from those who do and forgot this little step.

It was probably just lots of people trying at the same causing some email queing

I was able to change it fine, but sometimes email gateway servers send emails with some delays.

I've reset my password with no problems.

Same here

No problemo.

I've reset mine before the email from ebay came cause I heard the news from the radio on the way to work before it became more widespread.

I haven't reset mine. Don't use it all that often anymore. It's only eBay and nothing to do with Paypal so there's not much they can steal apart from my name and address which is listed anyway...
