Not sure what's happening but I just logged onto my Ebay
account with no problems, and I wasn't asked/told to change
my password.

From what I have read, several employees with a lot of clearance had their corporate identities hacked.
The breach of security was only just discovered. The employees clearance would have allowed
the hackers access to a lot of data and secure information including user passwords.
To be safe, it is recommended that you create a new password.
Like previous corporate hackings, there is the possibility that all the security holes
are not yet patched. So changing your password today is a good idea. However, it
may be necessary to change your password again in the near future.
I hate changing my passwords, because it usually means I will forget my new password, and
have to use other procedures to access the accounts and create a password again.
I have a friend that works in a hospital, and they require a password change every four months.
He has a really hard time remembering his passwords.
So, as Martin mentioned earlier, before change your passwords, make sure you have your personal information up to date.
