I had a card compromised about two years ago for about $11000. It was picked up by the bank immediately and they sent me a new card. They made a bit of a mess with the correction for a while. I had a credit on my new card for $32000 but Boo! Hoo! I could not get it out. all was eventually fixed but I ended up with 50000 odd award points from all their transactions which I was able to convert into gift cards to the value of $200.

I get those paypal spam emails too which are ignored. I had one most likely legitimate telling me that my card was about to expire and that my account would be cancelled if I did not fix it. As there were no outstanding transactions I ignored this and re registered next time I wanted to use paypal. Generally with ebay I only buy from places where I can pickup and pay cash.

I also get those emails from fedex, ups and some others. These companies have a repository where you can forward the emails to for them to chase up. This I do.
