Ebay password change How-To:

Tools needed: keyboard or touch screen.
Warning - do not disconnect the battery for this procedure.

Go to eBay.
Then click My eBay (top right of the screen)
Login with old password if the screen pops up. (It will if you haven't logged in over the last 24 hours).
In the middle of the screen, select the Account tab
In the list on the left that appears, click on Personal information
In the next list, click Edit on the password line
You will need to sign in again using your old password.
You will then get a screen where you can change your password!!!

What a ball ache that was for a simple job...
