My ebay account was hijacked a few weeks back. The problem was it was hijacked whilst I was in bed, so therefore a lot of auctions "sold" via buy it now.

Some buyers must not have read the auctions very well. Although selling a snowmobile from Florida and sending payment to a German account might seem normal to some, it doesn't to me. I also happened to be storing that snowmobile next to my tractor that I was also selling

I had emails asking all sorts of questions about the items, and some telling me that payment was on it's way (one guy was about to deposit $3200 into the bogus paypal account).

I emailed the buyers asap when I found out, so I think they didn't send the money, then got onto ebay live help and got everything sorted out.

Not sure how it happened though as I never click on links or open attachments in emails, and always do everything through ebay. Luckily my paypal account password was different as well so they couldn't access the funds.
