My Ebay Account Has Been HACKED!

So, I sold a couple of items about 2 weeks ago, and went to print shipping labels one evening, and to my surprise it seems that shipping labels had already been printed. Am I losing my mind? Did I print these in  my sleep one night? Not so. I clicked on the little shipping tab and it seems someone hacked into my account and managed to print 16 International Overnight Shipping tickets for 3 different sales to my account for the tune of $2900.00. Aside from that, there were now 16 different members across the US that somehow were linked directly to my Ebay account, so when you print a shipping label anyone of these 16 names would appear as the return address. Oh, and on top of this I have had 2 cases against me due to the mix-up in the all these shipping labels, and of course it wiped out my Top Rated Seller and Powerseller status, dropped my DSR's, and now I have had limitations put on my selling account on Ebay, and of course they won't work with me to get these cases closed and my TRS and PS status reinstated. After 8 years on Ebay, and over 1300 Positive feedbacks, I am nailed because of a hacker and Ebay won't do anything for me. BS!
So of course I freaked out as Ebay is connected to my Paypal account and my Paypal account is linked to my personal bank account, and I find that since of course there wasn't $2900.00 in my Paypal account it hit my personal bank account and they surely did take $2900.00 from me. I call Ebay in a panick at 11pm that night, I get hooked up with what they call a "SECURITY SPECIALIST" who barely spoke English and the best they could say is we will look into it and I should change my password immediately (YOU THINK)???? They then tell me to call Paypal as it is out of there hands. So next I call Paypal and I'm on the phone with them for 2 hours. Same thing, they will investigate, and stop the payments on all these shipping charges. TOO LATE, they have already come out of my bank account. So after 2 hours with Paypal, they tell me it is out of there hands and I need to contact my bank and talk to them. I ended up having to close all my accounts in my bank and with Paypal and I'm out $2900.00 hoping it will get resolved and I will get my money back, and still Ebay can't help with who hacked into my account.
I think as others say in there postings, Ebay and Paypal could really care less about most of us as long as they keep collecting there fee's from us.
I guess people should watch there accounts closely. If it happened to me, it could happen to you, and don't count on Ebay or Paypal to bend over backwards in an instance like this to help me or YOU!
So now I went and purchased an item on Ebay the other day and realized that I can't pay for it because I disconnected my personal account from Paypal. I will be a cold day in HE** before I link my personal account to Paypal again after this matter. I guess I will have to see if I can send a money order to the sellers to pay for my items. I could care less if Ebay doesn't like it or want people to send money orders for items purchased.


BE CAREFUL EVERYONE!!!

I'm going to have fun with whomever has the email and phone number associated with my hacked account.

Clicking to change my password ten to twelve times a day, on each of the various methods. :}

Won't get my account or 100% 400+ purchases and sales account back.  But hey, it's not that much work when you can program it to a happen in your little (payback vb browser)  🙂

I have been a power seller for over a year and this is the SECOND time my account has been HACKED. Each time they REMOVE all of my items, email my regular customers with SPAMMY emails, change my password, etc. WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN?

 

I have lost a total of $748 because of this.

 

WHY - or HOW - does this happen eBay?

... could be that they place, what seems to be, an innocent link

    to an outside of eBay website within a post here... as with email,

    once you click on that link, you open yourself up to being hacked.

 

   Uh... just curious, what's that link you posted for? Hopefully, it's just spam.

Oh my God!!! I have been threatened by a Nigerian man that bought an amplifier from my little brother through my account.  The police will not do anything since he is calling me from Nigeria.  What can I do?

My Ebay Account Has Been HACKED!

I am very concerned with the security and privacy of eBay transactions. I believe that security had been breached while I purchased an item on July 23, 2015. I made payment through paypal which was accepted by the seller. The item was shipped to someone else. As I recall when going through the purchase process in eBay, I received an error message that the transaction may not have occured. I immediately tried to contact the seller with the email published on the eBay site to confirm the order. The seller did not respond, I waited a few days and contacted again still no response.  eBay told me to contact paypal for a refund, I have filed a dispute but I don't think paypal is responsible - eBay has a problem with security... don't buy on eBay!!!

My account has been hacked.

 

I have given up counting the number of times I have contacted ebay and the seller and get no reply.

 

The seller totally ignores my request to cancel the transaction and ebay keep saying they are unable to cancel it or contact the seller to explain the hacking.

 

Where is ebay's responsibility in dealing with sorting out hacked accounts? Why am I made to feel as if I have done something wrong, when I have not.

 

Now ebay want me to ring the seller. They are overseas, it will cost me a fortune. If sellers do not acknowledge numerous emails, then why on earth would they respond to a phone call? I will not be calling, as I can't afford it. 

 

I do not believe for one minute that ebay are unable to rectify hacked accounts and restore them to normal!!!!!

 

NOT GOOD ENOUGH EBAY.... THE HACKERS GET AWAY WITH IT WHILE INNOCENT ACCOUNT HOLDERS ARE HELD TO RANSOME.....

You're responding to a poster thread from 2013.

 

Is there anything you need help with?

A 5 transaction newbie telling folks not to use a service that has been around for 20 years. Isn't THAT rich? This person more than likely fell for a phishing email and now wants to blame ebay and all sellers?

I just looked at the PT groups position in the "Groups" index and we are at the very top....the reason I looked was to see if per chance eBay had added some kind of "OK to post snark comments here" to our description ~ they have not.....!

 

@buyinsell  Joining a discussion and posting your opinion is encouraged, but as a first time poster, may I politely suggest that you make sure it is a current thread that you are replying to ~ and just so you know, there are many 0 feedback posters that use a "posting ID" and have other IDs for selling and buying.

How much better life would be, if a liar's pants really did catch fire!

My account got hacked too, when I tried want to close my account.
Here is eBay's massage:
Unfortunately, we can't close your account yet, because it has been suspended, restricted, or is otherwise not meeting minimum seller standards. Until you have resolved this matter, your account must remain open. If you would like to appeal your suspension or have an account reviewed by a member of our Trust & Safety team, please contact us.

I've been contact eBay more than 7 times over last 3 months. eBay did nothing, and my account still "suspended". Seriously why eBay's security problems make my account "suspended' forever ?

I am selling sod all recently but ebay will NOT admit there is a  problem. Ebay get your ears on and open your eys wide, YES O YES!!! You and millions of your customers are having major issues.  Amazon must be rubbing their hands, but then again you probably own that too, paypal are  having their shar of problems also 😞
