I think it was hacked in February or March but they only made it public yesterday...so yeah, somebody already has a credit card out in YOUR name, somewhere...and it isn't you.

No they said that was not affected but do you really trust em lol. Still having your name and address is enough to get one open now a days. Anyone who uses them should inquire and take the steps to protect yourself.

Yeah, and PayPal and ebay are separate so no worries there.  Plus what they pulled were the encrypted passwords, so password hacking is less likely, but they do still have your email and home addy.
