Mentor3 years agoOpen a browser and sign in to your eBay account directly without using any email links, then check your Purchase History.
If a purchase appears in your eBay account that you did not make, change your password immediately. Then see here:
https://www.ebay.com/help/account/protecting-account/get-help-hacked-account?id=4196
Contact the seller to let the seller know you have been hacked; it is possible the seller has printed a shipping label but has not actually shipped yet, or the seller may be able to intercept the package before it is delivered at some expense otherwise.
If the transaction does not appear in your eBay account, the email itself may be a scam attempt. Do not follow any links in the email. If you have followed any links and provided user credentials or financial info, you may have given that information directly to a scammer.

·3 years agoWhat iPhone? Was it something you looked at (and possibly made an offer or bid on or otherwise agreed to buy)?
Or was it something out of the blue (and nobody you've allowed access to your eBay account or your device has fess'ed up to doing it and they are trustworthy) and you clicked a link in the email and went from there (as opposed to logging into your eBay account without using a link in the email and finding it in your Purchase History)? Many scammers send out random emails that you purchased some expensive item from eBay or Amazon or wherever and "helpfully" provide links where you can cancel the purchase (and actually are giving them the information to steal your money/identity).
