Fun4TheMoney 0 Report post Posted April 4, 2005 Our son had his eBay account hijaked, yesterday. It took him almost a half day to get it sorted out. A heads-up buyer got suspicious of an auction for a snowmobile requiring a $1,000 deposit, so he found our son's phone # and called before paying. The listing did NOT belong to our son. Once the perp got our son's eBay password, he also hacked his email account, which used the same password. That took another half hour to sort out.This buyer told our son there has been a rash of these hijakings, lately. Obviously eBay isn't as secure as we thought. If any of you have accounts with eBay, and use the same password, there, that you use anywhere else, it might be time to change some passwords and make them all different.(I hope this was the right place to post this--if not, I apologize.)Suz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The last 4 weeks we've lost money, so we're quitting the eBay game. Gotta find another way to make $$ online. Suz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
