The information in this tutorial applies not only to eBay and PayPal, but to all other sites with which you do business. These protection practices can be applied to your bank account, your ISP account and virtually any other online account you hold.
Here are some tips on how to protect your account and what to do if you think you may have responded to a spoof email:
Vigilance Is the Best Line of Defense. You should periodically check your account status to see if there is any suspicious activity.
Change Your Password Frequently. If you think your account security may have been breached, change your account password immediately. Learn how to change your password.
Make Your Password Unique. To prevent someone accessing multiple accounts, it is effective to have different passwords for each account. Also, a good password will include a combination of letters and numbers - this makes it more difficult for people to guess the password.
