EBAY PEOPLE - heads up!!!!!!

[Mackey Mouse]

This morning I tried to log in to Ebay.. I could not.. my pw was not matching.. what?? I have had the same pw for 7 years, my mistake. OK.. here is where it gets weird, you know those spoof or spam emails that people send to get you to change your information so that they can access your accounts.. I never even open them and forward them immediately to spoof or spam at either ebay or paypal so they got in with no help from me.

What I am saying is be very careful....they actually listed items for sale using my user name, changed my password, and changed my email address. Ebay has taken care of it and deleted all the items, but can you believe this...I had to go in and change my password and secret question, paypal, my email account.. it took me some time.

Be careful you guys..

The same exact thing happened to me....three times.

Ebay's security is poor at best. I thought the whole idea behind the secret question was to prevent this stuff. The last time it happened, I demanded a reason, and they told me that hackers can mimic keystrokes when you enter your password, especially if you log onto ebay while at someplace like work.

This happened to me once too. Precisely the reason I've stopped using ebay.
