Hacked EBAY!!!!!!!!!

[MarillionFan]

My account has been hacked. Walked in to find 1000s of listings being added as I watched.

I reset the password and changed the question, five minutes later locked out again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now suspended. Can you get anyone at EBay to talk to. NO YOU F-CKING CANT!!!

W@nkers.

Spent an hour trying to stop my machine from being fried.

What are they selling?

Good luck - mine was hacked too and it took about 3 weeks to sort it out with Ebay. Change all your passwords to be on the safe side, including email, just in case. My mistake was using a obvious, guessable password, so make sure you pick a strong one. Ebay will refund all the fees and so on, but its just a pain to sort out.

This happened to me a few months ago. My account was hacked and hundreds of fake Louis Vitton handbags listed. This resulted in me being banned for listing fake goods.

I found it fairly stratightforward to get my name cleared and all costs refunded. I sent an email explaining what had happened and it was all sorted within a few days.

I feel sorry for those guillable people who bought those fake Louis Vuitton handbags. In fact I don't think these scoundrals have anything to sell in the first place.

Er, obviously sweep your machine for keyloggers etc before you do that or there's no point etc etc

Sorry to hear that MF - what a pain.

And what about the real losers bidders like my partner. This is a geniune message sent from e-bay about a Louis Vuitton bag that she was stupid enough to bid on. She joined in 2005 and it is seldom that she wins anything.

She bid on Item 230091496356 and I am so glad she didn't win it
