    An eBay spokeswoman said the posts were most likely the result of account takeovers and not of a security breach on eBay. She also said the credit card numbers contained in the posts were not those eBay or PayPal had on file for those users. eBay representatives have begun contacting all users whose information was posted to head off any further fraud and to learn more about the attack.

    Thank you WiseOne! With 4 or 5 windows open this computer of mine runs REAL slow, and I couldn't get it to load so I could edit it!

    Apparently, both of my eBay user accounts are safe.
