I have been receiving email about an item i didnt bid on from ebay. i think my account has been breached. ebay keep sending me pro-forma emails. is this the standard? do they ever admit there security is crap?

Ebay has this information on their website :

http://pages.ebay.co.uk/help/confidence/isgw-account-theft-spoof.html
http://pages.ebay.co.uk/help/confidence/spoof-email.html

or you can forward the sus emails to :

spoof@ebay.co.uk


Hope this helps :-)

I sent it to the email address, they just responded with some pro-forma email

This just sounds like a spoof to me and nothing to do with eBays security. It's a trick probably to get your account details.

If you log into your account and can't see anything then it's a spoof and completely seperate from ebay neither a breach in their security.

I keep getting dodgy emails about items I've nto bid on too. They're just trying to trick you into accessing your account via their email.

thanks for the response, i wish ebay was as quick? however, i cannot no longer access my account

I have received a credit on my barclaycard which came via Paypal. I did not order any items and have never received any items so the credit is fraudulent. I spoke to Paypal who after investigating, said they are happy with the seller's response and closed the case. I have a feeling this credit is linked to the emails I have been getting via ebay about bids i know nothing about. I have emailed ebay to investigate and asked Barclaycard to cancel the card and also investigate the fraud. Is there anything else i can do?

if you go onto the help part of there website theres an email address to send fake/ spoof e-mails to.
dunno if this will help.
