I have no idea how it happened, but my ebay account was hijacked for
a few hours this Morning. I only found out because Ebay caught the guy
trying to use my user name to sell a Mustang scam. I changed my password
for ebay and my e-mail and got it figured out. Then, to top it off, my
high bidder on the 55 is from China, sh.t.

As the costs for decent vehicles invite scams from Lord knows where, I'm
starting to wonder if E-bay is the best place to sell vehicles...

It is by far, this kind of stuff happens more often on Craig's list
for example.

It happened to me and I've been on eBay since 99 and am a computer
guy. What happened, I think, was an email inquiry on something I was
selling. I clicked to answer the question and my login program
automatically put my password in. THere was not site and I knew then
it was plucked by a fisher, or whatever they call them. Ebay caught
it and I changed my password.
