*sigh*
I'm a bit of an idiot. Just yesterday, my friends and I were discussing the fact I have basically one user name and password that I use almost everywhere. This is usually fine, as I've no one but me (and my friends) know it, and my friends can easily log onto my accounts when needed.
*changes mmo account passwords*
Well, today, I logged into ebay, looking for some hard to find controllers for my old xbox that I'm modding into a media center. For some reason, I couldn't actually log in.
*changes email password*
So I went through the process to reset my password. No problems. I didn't think any more about it until I logged back in with the new password.
*changes every other password I can think of*
When I logged in, I saw I had a couple of messages. One was from last November, when ebay shut down my account, as someone had been using it to spam other ebay members.
*changes PayPal password!!*
I'm a fool. Luckily, in this case, the only damage seems to be some annoyed people on ebay.

I have a "secure" and "insecure" password, and multiple user names. No one knows either of the passwords, even Sonoko. She does know the fallback password for things she needs access to, but the other two have never been spoken or written down or passed to anyone, ever.
