eBay Problem

I had bids on a whole slew of cards on eBay. Then my DSL went out.
After a day with no internet access, I get back online to find out
that I'm "not a registered user" on eBay. I've got an e-mail from eBay
that says I changed my e-mail address, but the one changed to is the
same on I've always had. I tried responding, but it's from a no-reply
address. Trying to find out what's up, I keep being asked to sign in
to use the parts of eBay I see to possibly get an answer to my
questions. But I can't sign in! Does anyone know an e-mail address or
other way to contact eBay to straighten this problem out? Post or
e-mail. Thanks!

Sorry I don't have an answer, but I bet if you post your message to
alt.marketing.online.ebay, someone will!

Sounds like possibly you've had your Ebay account hacked .......
had this happen to me a few months ago .... someone figured out my password
(my fault that it was'nt tougher) and changed my email address and basically
locked me out ....
Ebay suspended me because they could'nt reach me for confirmation of the email
change .........
I emailed Ebay and told them about the problem and within 1 1/2 days they had
it figured out and they gave me a temporary Ebay account and password (so the
perpitrators did'nt know it was me) and after 30 days I was able to go back to
my old account ........
they did a good job getting it straightened out but it was definetly scary
........
good luck,
ron

Use the live help feature on the main page. The people they have working the
live help are for the most part retards but it may expedite the process.

Mike, Thanks for the tip. Retard #1 bounced me to Retard #2, who,
after making me wait for 45 minutes, fixed the problem. I'm not sure
how someone got my password & took over my account, considering I
didn't answer any of those bogus e-mails asking for my password and
that my password was 10 letters/numbers/characters that were case
sensitive. But it happened. It also wasn't nice to see all the cards I
lost because my bids were cancelled. Oh well. Thanks again!

Don,

At least you can't say you were not forwarned about the customer service
retards I honestly think they must hire from temp agencies who recruit high
school drop outs. A person would be hard pressed to find more ill trained
personnell.

Glad you got your account up and going.
