Man that sucks. I hope you're not on the hook for any of that.

One thing you should do is contact Yahoo and have your "Lost Password Secret Question" changed. The Secret Question is the weakspot in yahoo accounts. Even if you change your password, If the hacker knows the answer to your secret question (often a tidbit of trivia someone can get out of you via some social engineering), then they can get into your account again.

To make matters worse, Yahoo does not give you any way to change your Secret Question without contacting a human there. I did it once and it took a lot of searching on their website to track down how to do it.

Finally, make sure you use different passwords for eBay and Yahoo. This can make it harder to hijack both.

Hope this helps, and keep us posted on what happens!
