Jon CanfieldGuys - happened to me tonight as well. Same thing as you describe... got the eBay email, went to log into my account later on (using the eBay page) and my eBay password didn't work.
I also NEVER log into eBay using those spoof emails and have never had a problem before.
I contacted eBay right away and I was told that eBay is now monitoring the computers users use to log into their eBay accounts. If someone tries to log into their eBay account with a non-recognized computer, the account immediately get's frozen as an attempted hijack attempt. Earlier today, I logged into eBay using my girlfriend's computer so this may have triggered it in my case.
Anyway, after about 30 minutes with eBay security live help, I got my eBay account up and running. While im confident it wasn't a true hijack attept, I changed my password anyway.
