Ebay account stolen?
Someone must have hacked into my ebay account--I have had 100 Ipods listed as selling under my account within the past hour. Has this happened to anyone? Does this mean they have access to PayPal? I am trying to contact their LiveChat customer service but it is horrible!

  OMG!! nver happened to me and I hope it NEVER DOES! but this happened to Scott not too long ago.
I don't believe they can access your PayPal account unless you had the same password for both

I think someone is messing with it. If you look up Ipod there are 100's being sold all the same pics, price and all under different names

Re: Ebay account stolen?
Yes, someone got into my acct one time and bought an engagement ring
At the time, DH & I were not engaged yet - so I took it as a sign 
It was a PITA to deal with, but after filing the complaint with ebay, and my credit card company, it got straightened out.

OK, their phone service is SOOO not helpful.  He hung up on me when I didn't have a name of someone to put me through.

Re: Ebay account stolen?
In the mean time, take all the ads down and CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD.
Change your password AND the email address associated with Pay Pal, too.
Keep calling Ebay and MAKE them listen to you.
ETA - If someone has already bid on the ipod, send them a message explaining the situation and then take down the ads. If you cannot take down the ads, change the wording / classification / title to explain that these were posted by someone who stole your account and apologize for the inconvenience.
I'm so sorry this happened to you!

Re: Ebay account stolen?
I honestly don't get why someone would steal your eBay user name to list things
do you have a different password for paypal? I would be more concerned about that!

I do. I even use a different email.
I changed the ebay password but they continue to list.

The operator won't transfer me to a real person! I get him, and then he hangs up on me when I don't have a name I am so frustrated.

DON"T LET HIM. BE STRONG. Keep hitting zero. I've gotten to a live person before, you can too. Tell the operator that you need to speak to a supervisor ASAP. Ask for the operators name so you can report him after the fact. I'm in sales, be tougher!!!

Re: Ebay account stolen?
Yes it happened to me. What a pain in the azz.
Ebay will lock your account. You will have to change your password for ebay, paypal, and your email accounts.
