cheers Brian Im on there now

Post the link to "all" your items for sale

We will bid items to £10,000,000

It will stop others buying

Ebay will register "stupid" bids and pull item off sale

Ebay is way to slow when accounts have been hacked !!!!!

[paul mex]

Dave, I dont have anything for sale!!!! The items are on ebay.ca canada!!! Brian the live chat is only 2pm till 6pm
What Im worried about is can they access my bank account that is set up to auto fund my paypal and ebay accounts ???????? Theres not a lot in the bank account (it is one I only use for ebay)and my paypal acccount is empty its funded by the other but I do have another account at same bank for daily use,

99% of the times when an account has been "hacked" the detail have normaly been aquired by some other method, normaly phishing, if you ever get any e-mails from e-bay asking for your username and password the chances are they are fake. (some times there is an e-mail that has a link to a website that Looks like ebay but it isn't. Its just a front to get usernames and passwords)

If you do get something like this always let e-bay know and they will let you know if it is genuine.

Due to these being e-mail external to e-bay there is very little they can do about it.

Unfortunatly this kind of think is greatly on the increase.
All the best trying to get this sorted.

Passwords can also be worked out..for instance if your user id was rs2bob and you mainly bought rs parts, then there is a good chance your password would be rs related.
NEVER use a password connected to your hobby etc.

Thanks for all the help lads Ebay have sorted it !!!!!!!!!
quote "It appears a third party had been able to take control of your ebay account this has now been resolved and any fees refunded" NO $HIT SHERLOCK ,
They also say card and bank accounts records are held on a high security server and are unaffected unless I have added my account details to a spoff email ????????? which I havent , Do you think a should close my account ??? It is only used for ebay and nothing else and has a very low amount at all times, the question is do I shut it or trust ebay to be ok with it ,My paypal and ebay accounts are both funded by the same account.
Cheers paul
