Help - Ebay account Hacked

TBirdUK · 18 Apr 2018 at 23:24

Need some help please.

Got loads of emails from Paypal about purchases I knew nothing about, all from about 20:50 - it appears ebay account has had its email and password changed (no idea how they did that!) and now they are buying through it, which is linked to my paypal.

I cant get through to ebay - their 24/7 line is only open during office hours! I have cancelled my credit card (linked to paypal), changed passwords on hotmail, paypal just in case.

Is there anything else I can do tonight?

anyone know how I can unlink my paypal from ebay without going through ebay (as I cant login!)?

ip address of the person who has hacked me is 92.233.133.107

can they use your paypal account without logging in to it ?
I have to log in to my paypal every time I make an ebay purchase.
or did you have the same passwords ?

no, unfortunately I linked it to ebay so you dont have to login - I thought it was computer specific, as I only use the one machine to do my ebay stuff, but it appears its not.

What have you done to anger Putin ?

Mainly usb memory sticks and ssds

And no, nothing I can think of (recently!)

I'll probably get the money back through buyer protection but the main pain is I was bidding on a couple of things that I'll probably miss out on (unless the hacker decides he wants them, which is unlikely!)

There are only 15 Valentina Gordeeva's in Moscow. Just need the one in Ulitsa Gur'yanova.

Google maps looks like its showing that address to be near/next to/in a computer repair shop.

Now we just need an OCUKer based in Russia with a keyboard heavy enough to cause some serious damage.

update - ebay has given me my account back, paypal are steadily refunding me the money, not all yet but they are working through them, just got to wait on my new credit card arriving and will be back. Have reported to Action Fraud but don't expect a result. A close call, no more linking paypal to ebay!!

Hopefully the robbing swine won't end up with any of the items as you were pretty quick of the mark. Glad it's sorted for you chap, never had an Ebay issue but had credit cards cloned a few times so know what it's like.

on the plus side, now you have his address you can poo in a box and mail it to them. should be nice and ripe by the time it arrives.

I'm not sure linking to paypal and faster checkout are the same thing. I spent a lot of time trying to remove that faster checkout thing as I saw it as a security flaw. I unlinked my paypal account but still it would do automatic payments with paypal without me having to log in. I spent many frustrating hours trying to sort it but got nowhere, I ended up deleting my account an using a new one.

I also lost out on an auction once as the seller added to his requirements that bidders ebay accounts must be linked to paypal.
