E-bay warning

[unicorn]

Make sure you keep an eye on your account,even if not buying or selling.

Just checked and found someone trading on my account.. (mobile phones)

Have changed my password, closed the sales and alerted e-bay...

Don't know whether to send angry e-mail to the person - maybe that would give them too much more information to nick.

Be warned.

help!!!

I have cancelled these item sales (mobiles) twice and changed password, and they are back on my account again 3rd time (1 day listing)

What do I do?

Badger badger badger ebay.

And can you ammend the listing to make people aware that its dodgy?

good idea will try (there are 4 listings tho ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh)

register as a new user under weird name and hotmail account and bid up on them, then blow them out!

I have stuck don't bid notices on the items... but it seems if I close the sale they just reappear with different listings numbers...

nightmare.

should I email the geek

or would he get be able to nick even more info?

DP says don't email as then he'll have your email address and could then bombard you.

S'pose you could open a new account esp. for him and write a scary one as though from ebay.

Ooh yes you could make your address sound all official. Like fraud@ebay

I have had to change all my account details (including email password) apparently someone managed to get into my ebay account and use it as their own.

(think it was something to do with items of mine that didn't sell - they changed the details using my account)
Very worrying...(luckily they didn't access paypal account)

Warning to everyone, change passwords regularly.

is your email account still secure?

no email account is secure, twirlaround, unless you have a secure email certificate and are emailing someone else with one (v uncommon)

Have you answered an email and given your security details in somewhere? There are dodgy emails coming in to me every day requesting my security details because 'there's a problem with your account'.

DH had the same problem - someone selling a ferrari for two hundred quid in his name! Still can't figure out quite how they did it.
