When I got online this morning - I had an email regarding the change of my email address from ebay. I didn't think much of it until I logged on to My Ebay and saw 9 auctions for computers - most with BIN's. I had not posted any of these.
I contacted ebay via Live Chat and got my email address back and these auctions removed. I have changed all the passwords I can remember!!
Do I need to do anything more??? This is really scary as I do some much online??? The thief probably has a lot of computer skills as they were able to get my pass word and for the fact they are selling computers? How did they think they could get away with this???
I have the email they tried to change my email to - should I report this to someone. They are in another country as all the auctions had that international stuff on it.
Should I change my ID too. I've had the same for years and really like it (not ladyjewels on ebay)
Thanks for any advise.
If you change all of your passwords you should be okay. You might want to report the extra information to eBay, if you haven't done so already. I am sorry this has happened to you!

Thanks Sonya
To say the least yesterday was a long long day. Changed every password that I can remember. I'm still very shakey about this - I guess they just want my FB (800+ no neg) rating to scam someone.
From all I can tell they stole my ID right off my ebay page - auctionwatch wasn't involved at all.
I'll be changing my password monthly now?
Thanks
