Ebay Problem...Has this happened to you?

[SSJunkie68-69]

I finally was able to get through to Ebay and "speak" with someone. Turns out someone did indeed attempt to hijack my account but Ebay shut the account down before any damage could be done. Credit card accounts and pay pal accounts all are intact.

I will give Ebay credit for being proactive and suspeneding the account when they realized someone was trying to hijack it but it took way too much time in sorting this thing out. There's got to be an easier way.

Many thanks to Rich and all the others that offered up some very good advice.

eBay did this same thing to me a couple of years ago but only a couple of hours after the hijacker had sold a laptop computer for about $1000 on a Buy-It-Now. They (eBay) did not tell the buyer of the laptop that my account was hijacked. The buyer wired the hijacker the money.
Why they did not tell the buyer, I'll never know.
The guy lost over a grand and wanted me to refund him his money.
Oh ya, took a week before eBay contacted me with the info and let me back on eBay. After that, I changed all my passwords to a combination of letters and digits that have no meaning. They are the hardest passwords for these scumbags to break, after a couple of tries, they'll just leave it alone and go find an easier target.
