    Sounds like the famous hacker again, the one that ebay say doesn't exist!
    There have been more posts like this on the boards today, it's very scary that someone can alter your listings, he has even posed as a "pink" on Q&A.:eek: All I can say is he is either an ebay insider or is a real life uber hacker.

    Ebay's security crisis continues as the Romanian hacker has breached Ebay's security once again. This is the third time in as many months that Vladuz has left Ebay red-faced; both in terms of their security and public relations departments.
  • It also happed to me...I have 100% feedback and they were listing the latest high specked phones,dvd recoders plasma tv's latest designer fragrences .I dont know if this will help try not to leave your account logged in "live " on your computer and go off , also do keep an eye on your account , when listing ,never tell people that your going on hols and and wont be back till...with your Password make it reallly really really hard when i look back id given loads and loads of tip even in my Me page and without realizing it maybe even my password it was a song about my favourite pass time ????
