Within about two minutes of my report, they'd frozen my account, removed the offending listings, leaving my original ones still intact, changed my password and security question and provided me with instructions on how to 'reactivate' my account. Was all sorted within about half an hour.
The only thing that went a little wrong is that, of the £45 or so racked up in fees by the thieving bar stewards, ebay have reimbursed most but left about £7's worth on there. Have emailed them to have the fees removed tho'.0 -
This happened to me at the weekend too, but it was 53 Mont Blanc pens.
I'll check the fees issue tonight to make sure they have all been removed.
How does this happen?0 -
Possible reasons...
- A keylogger (like a virus) on your computer, which tracks the passwords you type in and sends the details on to a scammer.
- A phishing email which you have responded to (ie. an email that looks as though it's from ebay, but isn't; you fill in your details and they're sent to scammer)
- Someone guessing your password - perhaps another account with the same password has been compromised?
- A 'friend' who knows your details but doesn't mind trying to abuse that!My TV is broken!
Edit: refunded £515 for TV 1.5 years out of warranty - thank you Sale of Goods Act! :j0 -
This also happened to me at the weekend it was 100 designer handbags its made me very wary about using ebay now its also a worry that it will cause negative feedback especially as someone bidded and won items!!!!! Ebay say all parties were contacted and account is now ready to be activated again but im not sure if ill use it again.Official DFW nerd 206 Proud to be dealing with my debt
