Title: ebay account hacked!!
Post by: Gaffers on 23 February 2009, 13:41:06
Got an email this morning from ebay.  My account has been reactivated following someone gaining access and posting items without my authority.  At first I thought it was spam, so I go through the motions and verify that it is a genuine email!  :o  I try to log on and low and behold I cant get in with my pretty strong password (letters, caps and numbers)  I tried resetting but it has not worked maybe that is how they hacked in?

Annoyingly I have an article which finishes in 5 hours that I want to win and I cant get onto my account.  All credit to ebay though they stopped it, deleted all the fraudulent posts, recredited my account and barred access very quickly and before I noticed.  I was on their last night so the hack must have been done in the last 12-16 hours.

I may have to use my dads account tonight to win this rather trailer!  >:(

He'll think you're trying to scam him and report you to ebay.

"I'm using my dads account in England because someone hijacked my account but it'll be OK, honest......."

Yeah, yeah......
