its not been hacked, its just people trying to get you to respond, when you responde it will ask for your password, and user name. don't reply to them.
oh just reread it again. When you log into your ebay, does it actually show it as you selling them?
as they may have just made the link and added your name up the top to make you think its yours.

It doesnt show in my ebay
it hasn't been hacked then. they will have made a link for an item, then added your user name and feedback up the top.( the feedback may not even be exactly as yours check, but don;t log in) they message you, you click on the link and the idea is you put your password in for them to see it.

ok it is genuine then but not sure why its NOT showing in your ebay as an item for sale. You won't be able to end early either as its less than 12hrs to go. You changed your password already, have you checked your email address is the same still?

When this happened to me I emailed them at around midnight and by 2 am they had closed all the listings down that I had, had a top service from em.
I was allegedly selling over 300 mobile phones on a 1 day listing.... marvellous.
You must have replied to an email at some point which has allowed them to hack your account. The trick is, never to reply to any questions or mails, UNLESS they are actually in your e-bay Messages list.
