Your e-mail could not be more timely. My account was hijacked Sunday and today I spent all day getting back itno my account and reporting to ebay.

They were selling a non-existant 68 Camaro on my account. Ebay pulled the plug after I reported it.

But then they would'nt believe it was me unitil thye asked me a question I was able to anwer about a past auction of mine.

I now have the ebay toolbar with account guard.

Do not open any email in nyour email box that says from ebay unless there is one also in your ebay messages.

The spoof is a ad page that says :

eBay Seller Central This Holiday Season, Get Your Jingle On...All The Way To The Bank .

DO NOT open this in your ebay messages , DELETE it . If you open it and click on a link, they'll have your password in a nanosecond.

What an ordeal. Account guard has color-coding to help determine if it's genuine ebay or not. Get IT.
