I thought that happened to me about 3 years ago....it was a sleeper I put aside for later, no use or feedback...I thought it was my imagination or I had done something wrong, except I knew I couldnt have....
Exaxtly and on 10! and another guy lost 30!! so probably server loss with all these problems!
I can even go register it again like its never been registered choose same id so its been wiped.
What happens when an ID is changed, does eBay keep record of the old ID?
The only way to get a hold of someone's account is to have access to their phone or email address. So if your email was hacked, the eBay account can also go.
