They stole my Ebay ID

A few thoughts here, Frank:

• Have you ever logged on to your eBay account from a public wireless HotSpot?
• Is your home wireless network encrypted?
• Have you ever logged on to your eBay account from a public terminal (e.g., in the lobby at a timeshare)?

No

Yes

No


I think this may have started 2 weeks ago. I happened to get a question from a buyer. I responded that I had no such item for sale but when I sent the email it came back undeliverable. If it was this then I am not sure how they got it since my password was not placed any where and the email did come back.

That is so scary! There can only be one Big Frank!

How did you know they stole your id? Did they list things for sale under your name? Did they get into your paypal account?? Yikes!

So glad you caught it.

They were listing under my account. I have a different pay pal password which might have saved me. I did have 1 item for sale and when I checked first thing in the morning they must have just listed items an hour before. What tipped me off to look was Someone else asked a question on a phone that I was sellingbut I was not selling any phones.
