I had the same problem a few months ago,a 42"plasma tv, i had to change my password on ebay my email account and paypal ,about six times in a week because every time i did it was hijacked again.
Check your personal details on a daily basis to check your email has not changed
they will get bored eventually
abusive emails to the hijacker make you feel great :D

If you are not running a spybot finder on your personal computer
Then it could be your computer that is giving away your details to whoever is scanning it?
I use "Sygate Peronal Firewall" Which alerts me to Any Port Scans!
I also scan my system weekly with "Spybot Search and Destroy"
And "Adaware"
Also Turf out your temporary internet files after either online banking or any visits to paypal etc

Never click a link in an email.
Whilst it looks like it would take you to ebay or paypal it will infact take you to a clever password collecting site.
Its always safer to read the email and hover over any links, in the status bar or tooltip popup it should give you the real URL where it will take you.
For example take this one, it looks like it will take you to ebay but infact it takes you to the mudclub homepage. Hover over and check the status line to see what I mean:
http://www.ebay.co.uk
This is the same type of scams that happen with online banking. Just never trust a link in any email. Also type the URL or use one of your bookmarks in your browser.
