    You will need to contact eBay through the help section as it sounds as if your account has been hijacked. Fay will know more about this but please do not panic! Change your password immediately. Have you clicked any links via emails which have asked you for your password?

    As Baby_J says, change your e-bay login password immediately. Also change your Paypal password if you have an account. Contact ebay straight away. As you seem to have access to your account, click on "Safety centre" bottom left of the My eBay page, "Report a Problem" button on right of page and follow instructions.

    Hi, the listings was removed, but somehow, they've managed to access it again, and are currently listing more items.

    My OH is currently on the phone to the ISP to change email password. Then when thats changed - I will change my ebay & paypal password again. As they had access to my emails (i can only think) they got the IP change of details number and logged onto a site in Amsterdam for info.

    Im still in limbo, and banging head against wall. Ive contacted ebay again, and they've not responded yet
