It has certainly caused a knee jerk reaction - as is apparent by the amount of people on the AC and here complaining how long it takes to change their password - eBay are inundated it seems with this request.

However, as Dave said, it happenned months ago, and while it is still most prudent to change PW it is a little like closng the stable door after the horse has bolted.

The fact that eBay witheld the info until now does suggest fear of this very thing (buyer confidence smashed) happenning may have played a part in that very 'immoral' decision.

I am quite certain one of the many 'fine print' clauses we agreed to when signing in on eBay would be Duty of Disclosure, which they have blatantly ignored.

But - it is eBay afterall, and they haven't done many favours lately to it's members, so a small matter of breach of contract is hardly likely to cause them any sleepless nights. LOL
