Re: [CGUYS] ebay experiences
Hmm I don't use ebay all that much but I have never had them ask me to change my password in the 10 or so years I've used them. Did you click a link in that email? You may have been pfished.

Re: [CGUYS] ebay experiences
If you Google the terms: ebay password change notification it will come up with a scam that sounds similar. You might want to verify directly with EBay that they are in fact the ones requesting your password change. You could maybe find out the reason behind the frequent change requests.

Re: [CGUYS] ebay experiences
In my opinion, ebay is a great thing but the system is complex and in my opinion things get problematic too often. I don't buy there unless I must because too often some aspect or another becomes messily time consuming for me. I have been ripped off once and a few years ago, someone hacked and started using my account. In my last purchase, because of ebay's complex relationships with their vendors and different purchasing paths, their shopping cart software glitched in the process of my making an instant purchase from one vendor and my credit card was charged via Pay Pal for a second vendor's item that I only looked at ... who didn't even accept credit cards. Ebay and paypal straightened up the problem and apologized ... said their engineers were looking at the problem ... but it consumed a lot of my time and attention to get thru that restitution process that involved ebay, their quasi, independent PayPal and two vendors. I prefer to not subject myself to such complexity but sometime ebay is the only place I can get an item so then I take the risk but knowing that the price will be good but the overhead can turn out to be costly. db Richard P. wrote: If you Google the terms: ebay password change notification it will come up with a scam that sounds similar.

Re: [CGUYS] ebay experiences
I am not quite that active, but I have never had Ebay ask me to change my password. Are you a powerseller? If paypal refunded your money ion 24hrs. You have just experienced a modern miracle. Honestly they found out something that made them very suspicious and wanted to distance themselves fast. Feel lucky. I tend to buy 4-5 times a month.

John DeCarlo sez: I would call them and talk to a human. Tell them you think you were the victim of a phishing attack and to stop activity on your account until you confirm you can get back in. Don't rely on anything else, not email, nothing. And ask them to check for activity, you will almost certainly be unpleasantly surprised. Yes. Never, EVER answer email from eBay, PayPal, a bank, or any other institution that you do business through. The majority of these places have messages within their sites. Always log on through a secure connection in your web browser -- using your own links and NOT the ones provided in the email -- and see if there is a copy of the email you received in your message box. 99% of the time, there will be none. No legitimate (or even semi-legitimate) business will contact you through email concerning account and other private information. You may receive a notice asking you to log on and confirm things, but if so, you do so through your own link and not any link provided in the email and you should find a copy of the message in any messages their system has. If there is no copy or there is no messaging system in the site, call them and talk to a human if the request is bothering you. I just ignore them if I log on and see everything is in order. -- Michael Lewis Off Balance Productions [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.offbalance.com * == QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in == * == the body of an email send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] == * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
