Your e-mail could not be more timely. My account
was hijacked Sunday and today I spent all day
getting back itno my account and reporting to
ebay.

They were selling a non-existant 68 Camaro on my
account. Ebay pulled the plug after I reported
it.

But then they would'nt believe it was me unitil
thye asked me a question I was able to anwer
about a past auction of mine.

I now have the ebay toolbar with account guard.

Do not open any email in nyour email box that
says from ebay unless there is one also in your
ebay messages.

The spoof is a ad page that says :

eBay Seller Central This Holiday Season, Get Your
Jingle On...All The Way To The Bank .

DO NOT open this in your ebay messages , DELETE
it . If you open it and click on a link, they'll
have your password in a nanosecond.

What an ordeal. Account guard has color-coding to
help determine if it's genuine ebay or not.
Get IT.
