notifying you of a listing being changed to a different PayPal account? This is an eBay obligation to ensure that notifications and accounts are being monitored for any suspicious behaviour. “Were you sent notification of the changes to the account? i.e. “We would need to advise that you would need to deal with PayPal to seek reimbursement for any loss of funds as we would not be in position to do so as eBay at no point have funds from sales.” – Email to Richard from eBay PayPal are saying that the PayPal account wasn’t hacked so not their problem and eBay are saying as they never had the funds they can’t attempt to recover them and it’s not their problem either. eBay and PayPal say it’s each other’s responsibilityĮBay and PayPal are both shrugging responsibility and have left Richard hanging out to dry. If you’ve given up, the answer is at the bottom of this post. If you think it should be easy to spot that your payment email address has been changed, here’s an example – Can you spot the difference between these two email addresses? This fraud has put his whole business in jeopardy. Richard still however has tens of thousands of pounds missing, not to mention any VAT that’s been paid, the cost of goods, staffing and warehouse, packaging materials and postage costs. eBay have refunded the fees for the fraudulent transactions and supplied a spreadsheet detailing the thousands and thousands of transactions this represents. Today we can reveal that seller is Richard from Home Care Essentials and what was originally thought to be a £20k theft has turned out to be fraud in the region of £54k. Due to his high turnover and the low value of each individual order, 10s of thousands were syphoned from payments from the hacked eBay account before he noticed. I wish I could buy some Anthrax and mail it to him.A week ago we published the appalling story of an eBay seller who had his account hacked and the email address changed on his best selling listings. I have the hacker's shipping address he used for the tent.

Never mind the effort it will take to update my email on all the websites I use : FML.

Should I just nuke this email and make a new one? I had a perfect, clean, professional name so it's gonna piss me off to throw a 1 or a dot on it or something similar, it never looks as good. I think that outside of the initial burst, it's pretty manageable if you stay on top of it. Got everything flagged as spam and deleted, and now they're trickling in at 2-3 emails per hour. I was getting shite in russian, arabic, spanish, everything. Spam folder grabbed 1500 of them, and the other 1500 went to inbox. To cover their tracks and slow down my reaction time, they ran a bot that subscribes me to all kinds of newsletters all over the world. A quick call with ebay got my account back and paypal already reversed the charge.
He changed my ebay username, email, password, etc, so I had no way to get into the account. As someone who is OCD about keeping my inbox clean and organized, this is my worst nightmare Some dude got past the 2FA (didn't think this was possible) on my ebay account and ordered a $500 tent at 5:40am.
