eBay has three times now forced a password and secret question change on my account due to what it describes as: "We've detected some unusual activity on your eBay account, and it looks like your password may have become known to a third party. In order to protect you and your eBay account we've reset your password and Secret Question (password hint).
The unusual activity may be a result of using a sniping site to bid on your behalf at the last minute, using a public-use computer or could be a result of you answering a spoof mail. You'll find more information on spoof below."
This can only be due to my using myibidder.com to place bids on my behalf. Is there any way to avoid this happening?
TIA - GeoffT.

Never had such reports from other members so I don't think this is related. We have many users from UK and nobody ever reported it.
Try to scan your PC for viruses and then set your password to something more stronger than you usually do (add a long number at the end, or some additional word).

I would suggest to change the password to another strong one and keep using eBay as you did in the past.
I saw a couple users who got it too. They changed their passwords and continue using everything as they were.
After all, eBay wants you to buy things.
