I received this message from e-Bay just a minute or two ago.
Hello,
Thank you for writing to eBay. I'm happy to help you with your concern.
I have thoroughly reviewed the information that you've provided us. I'm
unable to link the sender of this email to an account registered on
eBay. The item that's been listed with the account was the result of an
unauthorised account takeover. We've ended the listing for this item and
have now completed the process of restoring this account to its owner.
There are a few ways this takeover could have occurred:
If a member has a relatively simple password or password hint question,
it is possible that a third party was able to gain access to the account
by guessing the password. eBay strongly recommends that members choose a
password of least 6 characters and a combination of letters and numbers,
and do not include any personal information that others can easily
obtain.
It is also possible that the member could have unknowingly provided his
or her password to another party. Some eBay members have reported
receiving messages asking for User IDs and passwords. These messages
appear to come from eBay Support, but in fact are not. Remember that
eBay will never ask for sensitive information of this nature through
email.
Finally, there are a number of computer viruses in circulation that
attach themselves to a user s computer, and log and record the user s
keystrokes. It's recommended that computer users keep their virus alert
software up-to-date, and check their system often for problems. A
firewall for high-speed Internet users is also highly recommended.
I'd like to thank you for your report and help in keeping eBay a safe
and fair place to trade.
Regards,
