eBay can go screw itself
Permalink Closed

so a few days ago, i got a reply to a question i supposedly asked regarding some cell phone (wtf? i've never even visited the auction).  i thought it was a glitch in the system where the messages were being forwarded to the wrong people.  i ignored it.  bad squishy.


today i got a 'congratulations! you won the auction!' e-mail,with an invoice for said cell phone.  i go to 'my ebay' page, and there's no indication that i bid even bid on this.  since my account's been hacked into before, i go and change my password to something i probably won't even be able to remember.


if this somehow affects my feedback or my paypal/checking account, i will be supremely pissed.  i wish ebay physically existed so i could WRING ITS NECK.

hmmm....I'm guessing spam? Anything that comes from Paypal or Ebay, that I don't recognize, I delete without reading it because I assume it's disguised spam. If your account shows you've never even bid on it, that's what I bet.

the creepy thing is that the auction is legit.  if i search for the auction #, i get that listing for the crummy $400 cell phone.  and when i sign in, it says that i've won the auction, that the seller's already sent an invoice, and asks if i'd like to pay.


i hope it's spam.

Well, you didn't click the link in your e-mail did you?  Especially bad if you clicked the link and typed in your info.  I get tons of phishing scams from "ebay" and just delete them.

are you sure when you go into the site, you are on ebay's site and not a fake? i get spoof emails like this all the time and they are basically baiting you to enter your username & password onto a fake site so they have access to your info.

I read on another forum that ebay was recently hacked. I don't know if this is true, but a couple of women on that forum said their accounts had been compromised.

this is f-ed up.  i check my ebay page today, and it says i did purchase the item.  i notified the seller (and sent a very strong-worded e-mail to ebay as well), and he/she agreed to nullify the auction. thank god.  my annoyance with ebay has escalated to supremely-pissed-off-ness.


thanks for your suggestions, everyone!  i hope this doesn't happen to any of you.
