This is how it happens. 

You are tired because you have been searching

for a while, and then there it is.  Just what

you want. 

You click the listing link and the next

screen is the EBAY login screen.  Wow, thats

odd, but you just log in cause you are used

to seeing it.

Then you are directed to the listings again,

or maybe even that listing.

The next day you get up and check your My

Ebay to see how the items you are watching

are doing.  Except its too late, you account

has been stolen.

This happened to me last year.  The guy was

selling 2 cars.  He had even added a new

email to the account which I received notice

of.  Freaking me out even more.

EBAY did dive in and take care of it.  I was

told to contact local authorities.

I had to answer several questions, to get my

account back, and almost didnt because I

couldnt remember one of my old emails, from 8

years ago!

So, tonight I looked at a listing and came

back to the listings page and noticed a new

one had been added under Chevy->Aveo.  The

listing had a car starting bid of .01. 

I laughed and wondered what the reserve was

and clicked the listing.  And BANG  the login

page.  

I started to click the entry for my ID, then

thought what?  And went back to the listing

and clicked it again.  And again the login

page.

Then it hit me like a ton of bricks.  I

opened another window and emailed ebay the

title of the listing.

When I went back again, the listing was gone.

 In a matter of maybe 3 or 4 minutes they

hacked into EBAY changed the listing to a

fake login, and probably got someones

ID/password or maybe several accounts and

then deleted the entry.

There should be a record of it in a file on

some ebay computer somewhere.

Please, if you are ever in doubt about

logging into EBAY, open a new window and

login.

Then go back to the other window and backup

and then go forward, you should not be asked

to login again.  If so, take notes and email

EBAY.

Good Luck, and Be safe.
