I have discovered what I believe to be at least three ID thefts. I cannot for the life of me figure out where to report this on eBay.

It happened to me! they also stole my yahoo.com account. I couldn't get in on my auctions, went to seller search and my auctions came up, it had a cell phone listed, I freaked, I got ahold of eBay live and they even called me at my house, she ended the auction and refunded the fees and cancelled the cell phone, I don't even have one myself not to mention selling one. They sent me a new password and I was able to get back in as me. I went to my info and a different person, address and everything else was there, not me. I made the mistake of vertifying my email, id and what eBay never askes for PASSWORD... I had received a spoof letter saying I was to be pre suspended to vertify the ownership of my account. I had the same password for all my accounts so this person tried it on my e-mail used to register with eBay and got that e-mail account as well were all the questions for sellers go as well as paypal, numerous other purposes. So ignore all presuspension letters. I received one in my new e-mail account as well, it was immediately deleted. I tried calling the person who's phone number was in my info, no answer of course. I don't know what eBay did about it, several people I know personally got one, I asked one guy did he vertify and put in his password, he said he did, I told him to go when we got off the phone and to immediately change password. So he did and was not affected by this outrage of theft. Thanks for all the info have enjoyed reading others solutions for problems we share.

I had my ID stolen over a month ago - went to safe habour live chat and got it fixed asap. No I did not answer any emails from ebay!!
I got an email from Paypal yesterday(logo and all) saying my account had been flag for a random security check etc etc etc ......click here to vertify your information so your account can be returned to it good standing etc etc.
I reported it but I think I will never answer another email or open another link from any company.
