I had this happen to me yesterday and it is a horrible experience. BUT, if someone would not of contacted me, who knows how long it would of been left up for all to view. AND the listing fees were sky high. They not only listed it in my account, but they put it in two categories and featured it with all the perks.
At first when I received the contact from another eBay user telling me of a possible account take-over, I thought this person was messing with me. I then reviewed my auctions and there it was. JOHN DEER TRACTOR! The ad had an email address all over it saying:
When you have a big problem, this is a great place to get help fast : Ebay Emergency Board
Ebay is wonderful about getting you back up and running!
The procedure then is simple. Follow the instructions eBay will email you.
