Ebay Account Hijacked
Posted By: Eric B
I followed the earlier thread on this subject with interest, but did nothing since me Ebay account was OK. Until last night! My account was compromised and my password changed. I have an Auctiva account so I would suggest anyone who does to change your Ebay password immediately. It's just a matter of time. |

They could leave negative feedback in your name, email buyers of yours to send payment to a different address, buy stuff on your behalf - any number of ways to mess you up. |

My account was compromised for the first time ever last night. It must be gavelsnipe. It is the only thing I am doing different than before. |

It happened to me last night also. I also use gavelsnipe. This is certainly the common thread. |

When ebay thinks they detect a compromise, the first thing they do is go in and change the password. So finding your password changed only shows ebay changed it. |

For what it's worth, after my account was 'hijacked' I changed my password and then updated my gavelsnipe with my new password, but ever since then gavelsnipe has not worked for me. I have tried to snipe twice since then and both failed. I think I'm going to cancel my gavelsnipe and then reopen a new gavelsnipe account and see if that works. |

Thanks Jim. I resisted the overwhelming temptation to change my password to "F***Ebay" |

I also followed these threads. Then on Friday night, my Gavelsnipe bid worked as expected. This morning I received my eBay message. No harm done other than having to change my password. |

I just finished working with Ebay to reset my password. I am also a user of Gavelsnipe. I hope Trae is able to resolve his issues soon. |

I'm locked out again tonight and this time, my own advice doesn't work to change the password. It instantly said I've made too many attempts to log in. |

It has nothing to do with snipe programs or a hack. |

Not so sure of that. The change process wouldn't work and I had to go through Account Security. |

That really doesn't make a whole lot of sense that they would go about it this way. I really didn't make any more of a complex password than my last one...and actually it's probably an "easier" password. |

When you consider how ebay works. It makes perfect sense that they would do something non-sensical. |

ebay made me change my password one time . I figured out why they did this, it was because I was logging on in an area that was known for hijacking accounts. I changed my password and kept logging on from that area and they probably figured out that it was me to begin with and not somebody that was trying to hijack my account. It was more of an annoyance than anything else. |
