Default Similar passwords?

Do you think eBay can track and link if passwords are 100% different but a similar style/pattern?

Mine are far too unique to ever be linked but just wondering...

I don't think so. Passwords are usually encrypted inside the server where are stored and cannot be easily decrypted.

But, why take the risk, I suggest to make all passwords unique.

Why go to all the effort of making everything totally new and then use the same password on all accounts...

Due to how they encrypt passwords chances are it would be fine, but why take that risk?
