Continual attempts to hack my eBay account

[finlay666]

Why is it I keep gettign people tryign to hack my eBay? It's getting pretty annoying now

First one sent out a load of spam

So I changed my password and security question on both my eBay and email, both different questions and answers

Now I get an email saying I requested a reminder for my username, so deleted and changed my password again....now im getting one for my password........


I think eBay must be pretty insecure for me to keep getting this, worst bit is I get notifications of this, but not when I place a bid and can't find a way to change it, it's set to on yet I still get nothing......

So... you changed your email account password, right?

edit: duuuuh you said so in your post.

Send yourself an email with a web link to a web host for which you can see the logs, then see if anyone accesses that URL.

How do you know the notifications aren't fakes?

If you're getting a reminder of your username the hackers (whoever) probably know your email. Try and repeat the method and see what information they needed (To send a password reminder or username reminder), then change that. Check the IP of the sender of the email so it is an eBay IP.

Change the email address - usually easier to see the fakes immediately then without going to all the hassle of researching them.

How do you know the notifications aren't fakes?

Because they show up in the "my messages" section on eBay.

change the email simple, or report it to ebay. as long as they don't know your email password your fine.
it's hardly hacking your account as they can't really do much.
