Check out https://www.paypal.com/securitykey
It's a new device that helps your account not get hijacked. It's a small device that generates a 6 digit code every 30 seconds. When you log on to ebay or paypal you have to enter your user name, password AND the number on the device. Somebody could have your login and password, but without the number on the device they can't log in.

Good old RSA SecurID badges. We use those at my job for logging into our network remotely.

Good idea for someone that uses Ebay/Paypal a lot. Kind of a hassle for those that don't.
