I highly discourage anyone from going on to eBay.........they are NOT a secure site....(though they claim to be).......twice now someone has hacked into my account (and i change my password weekly) and listed items for sale without my authorization....contacted ebay customer support via live chat and they said that they will NOT help me because they feel that no unauthorized activity had been done on my account..........


I'm just saying.....DON'T EBAY!

Now ya got it.

That hasen't happened to me before...but I'm sorry it happened to you!!

I can only speak for myself, but I've been on ebay for 5+ years (Wookiee1of1) and I've never had any problems. I've gotten spoof emails about people posting stuff for me, but never any actual account violation.

Did you mostly buy or sell on ebay?

i have been on ebay since 2001 and no issue like you speak of

i would bet someone has an in on your computer

make sure remote access is turned of and get some good security software

I don't sell anything on ebay, but I buy stuff. Never have gotten hacked or jipped...but I have gotten the spoof e-mails that say you either purchased something you didn't or are attempting to sell something you didn't put up for sale.

it tripped me out, so I clicked the e-mail, a warning came up saying it was marked unsafe and asked me to mark as safe If I wanted to read it....BIG indicator that it was spam, so I deleted it...once you open it up, those e-mails take you to a fake ebay where you put in your personal information and they record it..then...that's how they hack into your real ebay account.

when that happens to someone and the warning DID pop up...it's pretty much the persons fault for still reading it. Legit mail from ebay shouldn't come up as spam unless it did from the very beginning

sry to hear about the problem you had, I hope you can resolve it somehow

Use a safe Online Browser, and a good Firewall, most of this problems always happen inside the house, you open a route inside your computer ( Downloading the wrong stuff or surfing the wrong sites) and that's all they need to get some of your info.

Odds are, your system has a trojan or worm in it. You might want to check for them. I've had 0 problems with anything financial, but then again, my systems aren't infected with the micro$oft virus.
