I had my eBay account hijacked not too long ago. I started getting
eMail confirmations regarding items I had supposely put up for
sale...someone in the Far East was using it to try and sell athletic
shoes and all kinds of what appeared to be gray market goods. I have
no idea how they got my password as I am very aware of phishing schemes
and the like. When I found out about it, I immediately changed my eBay
password, cancelled the items for sale, and also contacted eBay and
have not had any problems since. But it was a very odd experience.


I get those emails and I don't have an eBay account.


Same here. I always used to get e-mails telling me that there was a problem
with my PayPal account and I should confirm data.
I never have had , nor will I ever have a 'PayPal' account... or purchase
anything off e-Bay.
