I Feel sick

Kevicho

copy of post on ebay sectionMy credit card has been used without my authorisation

"Having just checked my statement, £187 has gone out for an ebay purchase (which i havent done)

Have rung the credit card company to say this is fraudalent use and also emailed ebay (could find no phone number) to say this is fraudalent use and to give me the details of the transaction

Should i phone the police?

If anyone has any suggestions of anything more i can do then i would be most appreciative

As you can see from my sig i cant really afford to be ripped off like this"

This is all i need, i feel sick i know ill get the money back and i intend to see that ba$$$$$ behind bars

There are some scum in life

If anyone can help with info or a reply to the above id feel much better

have you checked your paypal, in case inadvertently a reciept has found its way there?

definately call the police in any case, your CC may need a crime reference no before they can do much

sorry to hear that Kev x

awwww Kevicho what a disgusting thing to happen. Im sorry but I have no experience of this but I think you should phone the police. I hope you manage to get it sorted.

Checked my paypal, funny thing is it had my halifax CC as the card for that account, which expired months ago

im awaiting the reply from ebay as to the specifics of the transfer and what they intend to do

Having taken the banks to court i will not let something like this happen and if they have info they WILL give it to me

Err, you have cancelled the card??

Kevicho

i cancelled the halifax card that is on my card on my paypal account

Egg have locked mine card while they investigate

Am a bit miffed as i am using that as a 0% BT fund, and have said i WONT be paying any interest on this

Just when you think things may be sorted

try posting this on the ebay board (towards the bottom of the list of boards) there are some superexperienced ebayers on there, who have seen it all before and know the system. I'm sure that you won't end up being liable for fraudulent use of your credit card, and you have taken the correct action in reporting it as soon as you became aware. Unfortunately it will probably take up a bit of time to sort out, and it's energy you'd rather be spending getting debt free. But I wouldn't be too concerned in the long run. Good luck

so just to get this straight, was it a paypal transaction or just a straight credit card transaction?

What a nightmare Kev, hopefully Egg will investigate and find on your behalf in this instance and refund your money. I would call your local police station and see if they need to give you a crime ref no.
