Does Heartbleed affect ebay pswds?

There is a message on .com under Announcements to say that it hasn't affected ebay:

 

There has been a lot of discussion recently in regard to a security vulnerability in a version of OpenSSL, commonly known as the “Heartbleed Bug.”

We take the responsibility of keeping your personal information details protected very seriously at eBay.

We would like to assure you that with regards to the Heartbleed bug:

1) Your eBay account is secure
2) Your eBay account details were not exposed in the past and remain secure
3) You do not need to take any additional action to safeguard your information
4) There is no need to change your password

While we always advise our customers to be cautious and aware of the security of their personal information, in this case we want to reassure you there is no need to be unduly concerned.  When you login to eBay using your user name and password these details were not exposed to the OpenSSL vulnerability.

Consumer safety is our top priority. As always, thank you for being a part of the eBay community.

 

I don't know about PayPal though or even if the announcement includes ebay.ca

 

How come we never get this info on .ca?
