So I was putting rear brake shoes on the van at the Garage tonight and I get a phone call from Nebraska. It was paypal...
"Is this Mr. Jeff Morrison?"
yes
"This is ???? from paypal."
ok...
"Are you aware of 16 items posted for sale under your ebay account 'turboomni08' in the past 24 hours?"
no...
"So you have no knowledge of the 5 E-machines power supplies, assorted video games, and power packs for sale under your account?"
oh, this is not good is it?
"Well sir, it appears to us that your e-bay account has been stolen and is being used by a third party in a scam on other members of the community. I will take care of all the issues on the paypal end, and I will contact e-bay, but I suggest you do the same and change all your passwords as soon as possible."
WTF!!!??? So I went to ebay, and sure enough I had 13 things for sale and 3 sold. I recieved no e-mails about the posting, no "your item is sold" messages...nothing. These guys know their shit. E-bay was able to clear all the items, change my password, e-mail all the buyers and refer them to paypal for their claims. So, keep an eye on your e-bay accounts guys, I never even knew there was a problem with e-bay hijacking.
