Has anyone had any problems using JBidwatcher?I'm thinking of switching to it. The problem is, after I got locked out of my eBay account for using Goofbay, I had a devil of a job getting the reset passwords through, so I'm not too keen for a repeat performance any time soon.

This has happened to me on 6th May, looks like my account was hijacked in America as my seller fees were in dollars. Not sure what they listed but they used the expensive listing options with all the extras. I think one listing worked out at about £26. Fortunately Ebay were onto it quite quickly, however I have not being able to restore my email function. I have not had an email from Ebay since 5th May, despite changing passwords and bidding on items. Any ideas how to restore my email? I've gone into my preferences and everything looks okay, although they had taken my Paypal option off so I guess this is how they get round not using your Paypal account. Stupidily my Paypal and Ebay passwords were the same but have now changed this. Anyone else had a problem getting their emails to work?

Also, I've not used goofbay, never even heard of it. I don't know how my account was compromised. Ebay seem to think it was a phishing email but I've gone through all the old messages from Ebay and they are all genuine.

Thanks for this, as you said they were all blocked. Do you know how they did this?
