| | Our son had his eBay account hijaked, yesterday. It took him almost a half day to get it sorted out. A heads-up buyer got suspicious of an auction for a snowmobile requiring a $1,000 deposit, so he found our son's phone # and called before paying. The listing did NOT belong to our son.
Once the perp got our son's eBay password, he also hacked his email account, which used the same password. That took another half hour to sort out.
This buyer told our son there has been a rash of these hijakings, lately. Obviously eBay isn't as secure as we thought. If any of you have accounts with eBay, and use the same password, there, that you use anywhere else, it might be time to change some passwords and make them all different.
(I hope this was the right place to post this--if not, I apologize.)

oh... thanks for telling. Hope you've now got everything sorted.. I used to use e-bay quite a bit, and now my close friend is selling stuff on ebay on a regular basis. Maybe i'll tell him just that. Thanks

We're having the opposite problem--buying seems to be okay, but we can't make any money on the stuff we're trying to sell. we used to make $2,000-$4,000 a month on eBay. The last 4 weeks we've lost money, so we're quitting the eBay game. Gotta find another way to make $$ online. Suz
