Hi guys
Last year in August, my ebay account became compromised - somehow, someone had managed to get my log-in details and started selling loads of things in my name. Luckily, Ebay manaed to cancel these and email me to let me know my account had been compromised before I had even realised what was going on. I reset my password etc...and my account was active again. I recieved an email on 15th August from them saying my account had been compromised, so they must has started selling stuff a day or so before.
I have a few items listed for sale at the moment, and they all finish today. While checking some of the settings on my account, I've noticed something - under "Third Party Authorisations", I have two things:
'Inkfrog inc' (created 14 August 2006)
'Mpire Corporation' (created 14 August 2006).
Could these be in anyway linked to the above incident? I've only just noticed these on here and am worried that my account is still violated in some way. It gives me the option to revoke these authorisations, but if they are genuine Ebay tools then I won't bother...it just seems to be a bit weird that they were set up almost at the same time my account was revoked.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
