Ebay account broken into

[Archive]

Posted By: <b>Bryan Long</b><p>Just wanted to give everyone a heads up that my Ebay account has been broken into and serverals items were placed for auction. Ebay caught it and put an end to all the listings, but I am now in the process of checking all of my records and changing all of my passwords for everything. If anyone e-mails me and I don't get back right away it is because I am trying to not get stuck with a bill for a couple of second season DVDs of 24 or office space. Wish me luck.<br><br>.

Also, it's good to have different passwords for different accounts. This way if one password is stolen, only the one is stolen.

Posted By: <b>Scot</b><p> What happened was, I received an email through ebay member "a question" stating someone stole my photos for another auction on ebay. This question was in my ebay page as well. So I responded with where? No reply and shortly there after my auctions were sabatoged with advertisements. The ebay name was nawty-dog, an overseas ebay account. I called ebay 1-800 and they told me to change my password immediately. They then shut down my autions and refunded my ad money. Auctions were relisted. <br /><br />I had another foreign ebayer ask if he could bid and I refused. They may be connected.
