Someone hacked into my eBay account and marked an unpaid item paid
Hello Everyone!
Beware, as eBay platform has a major vulnerability that hackers exploit. I recently got a message from eBay stating that two of my crypto miners sold for almost 10,000 US dollars. The app main screen read "Paid Ship Now" so I shipped the items. There was also a "Note to Self" note by the hacker "funds on hold until 7/27" for a purchase on 7/3!!!! Sure enough the funds never were deposited by eBay and 7/27/22 I called and it turns out "there was never a payment for this item" and "you made a keystroke marking the item paid" one minute after it was purchased. Are you freaking kidding me? Following are facts:
1) Someone logged into my account from Texas July 3. I live in San Diego and was visiting family in Arkansas.
2) They marked the item as paid
3) Their account sometime between July 3 and July 27 was suspended for abuse of the eBay system
4) They had an international forwarding address in Miami, so by the time I caught up with the fraud the miners were well out of the country.
So far, eBay has simply said they escalated the case for higher review. I swear if they don't apply the seller guarantee here, I will call them everyday and tweet them twice a day until they take some responsibility and file a law suit if need be. This has happened before, per a google search and searching these message boards!
