Hi Yesterday my ebay account was hacked into and 20 items were listed. I cancelled them, informed ebay and changed password. This morning I get up and 50 items had been listed, I could not get into ebay. Sorted it out with ebay, they cancelled the listings and said to change password again.
I am too scared to do anything now in case someone does it again. A system check on the computer was done last night and nothing showed up. No viruses, spyware? I thought I had chose a hard name to crack for ebay and it was cracked. So scared that I have spyware on my computer and that all my banking, ebay is at risk. What can I do? Please advise if you can.
Thanks

Are you running any anti-virus or anti-spyware software at the moment?0

Listen go to another computer (not your own) and change it from there. Looks like you have a key logger and someone is seeing everything you type.0
