Ebay account broken into

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.

It's always good for folks to periodically change the passwords on accounts, even if there isn't problem. Can nip a problem in the bid before it happens. Also, it's good to have different passwords for different accounts. This way if one password is stolen, only the one is stolen.

Had it happen here, but on the other end. Someone made an offer and I accepted it for an item listed, only to later find out it was a phony offer.

Shiz happens.

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.

I had another foreign ebayer ask if he could bid and I refused. They may be connected.
