Posted by Tony Bickers on January 2, 2007, 2:28 pm, in reply to "E Bay" E-bay were on the ball though and shut my account about the same time I noticed and after contact with them I had to change my passwords and e-mail account passwords , so, the moral is do not reply to any e-bay based mail query that you know nothing about, any message that e-bay sends you will be in your "my messages" section of your "my e-bay", also, there are a lot of "Phishing" e-mails about which ask you to confirm your details via a link which looks very official but again is a scam to steal your account details, Hope I hav'nt scared you off using e-bay but you need to be aware of the above, Regards Tony Bickers

Posted by Tony Bickers on January 3, 2007, 2:31 pm, in reply to "Re: E Bay" Yes they did charge me selling fees for the bogus items, about 200 items in all, but I contacted them about it when I found out and they gave me a full refund. Tony

Posted by Michael Whitworth on January 4, 2007, 7:26 am, in reply to "Re: E Bay" Did it just take one email or phone call? as ebay don't seem to have people you can talk to or get a sensible reply from. A relative of mine is being hounded by debt collectors and bailiffs despite numerous emails and advice from CAB and solicitors!! Mike

Posted by Sean Connelly on January 4, 2007, 8:50 am, in reply to "Re: E Bay" When I noticed my account had been hijacked, I used the online messaging facility and chatted to one of their support people. He then called my mobile and after going through their procedures, he removed the car that was listed for sale (hijacked from another ebayer) and reset my account (needed to change password to both ebay account and email POP3 account). The only real problem was the guy who originally had the car for sale, his first few emails were a bit abusive until he calmed down and realised it wasn't anything to do with me. The moral of the story is to check your account regularly, have a really good password (different to your PayPal password) and change it regularly. HTH Sean
