I finally was able to get through to Ebay and "speak" with someone. Turns out someone did indeed attempt to hijack my account but Ebay shut the account down before any damage could be done. Credit card accounts and pay pal accounts all are intact.
I will give Ebay credit for being proactive and suspeneding the account when they realized someone was trying to hijack it but it took way too much time in sorting this thing out. There's got to be an easier way.
Many thanks to Rich and all the others that offered up some very good advice.
