Hijacked email address... one step farther | Buying

A while ago I reported that someone had hijacked one of my email addresses to create an account which they use to sell stuff which they never deliver. I asked what to do, and was told to ignore it, which I did. Now it appears that they've somehow connected that account to a bank, so they can and do receive payments through it. Ebay (really eBay, not a scam) has sent me a notice that they have transferred $187 and some centers to "my" bank, which I've never heard of. Maybe they're selling some genuine items to build up feedback; that's speculation. This is still strictly none of my concern, except that "their" email from eBay comes to me, and my domain name, if not my genuine eBay account, is getting a lot of unfavorable comment in feedback. So, repeat question: what, if anything, should I do?
