Hi Folks,

I've been a reader of this forum and figured I'd add some input to this thread. I believe that this issue is due to snipe programs. My eBay account has been 'compromised' three times over the past two weeks. The first time I thought my computer had been hacked, but became suspicious after the second eBay email. This past Sunday, I placed some snipes, woke up Monday morning and was able to log-in to my eBay account. At that point I enabled that PIN token that I have for my eBay password so my eBay password is my password+random number from token. On Wednesday I received another email saying my account was compromised. For all intents and purposes not possible with said token activated.
The eBay rep told me that they are now monitoring where people log-in to eBay from (assuming IP address). She said that she would make a note in my account (whatever that means) that would allow me to snipe without having my account frozen every day or so.
