Excuse me for being frank, but...

Yeah, most of us don't need this warning. We're 
web-savvy enough to know that eBay NOR Hotmail 
would never ask for our password. Luckily for 
the person running the scam, there are always 
suckers like you who don't read the warnings 
BOTH places put out constantly. It's got to be 
close to a million places on both websites: 'We 
will NEVER ask for your password.'

While it is a shame that this happened to you, 
and I'm incredibly sorry...if you don't read 
things carefully, than you only have yourself to 
blame. This is not an 'eBay security break', as 
eBay has nothing to do with it. Do not blame 
others for things they cannot control.

Perhaps now you'll be more careful with your 
transactions.
