Aaaagggghhhhhh!!!!!! I hate E-Bay

I just went online to my e-bay account and found out that someone has attempted to link to my account again! This is the third time in just over a year. I have no idea who kimmie_cu83 is but they are an evil and VILE individual. It is this user or a variant of this user that hacked my account the previous times as well. How is this happening? I have spent hours of my life on the phone with E-Bay to get the past two attempts fixed. They promised me it won't happen again. Yet, here I sit on hold yet again waiting on them to kick this $%&*'er off of my account again.

  1. Chris, that sounds awful. I don't use Ebay myself and this makes me think I will never trust it. Hope you don't get burned by this person.

    1. Thanks. It is bad but I don't have my e-bay account linked to anything - fortunately. If I close the account, it resolves it only part way as now I can't use it to sell. I only saw it after I put up a listing which I may now have to take down if they can't solve this.

  3. Tough luck, Chris. I don't understand how someone can link to your eBay account or even what "linking" is. I hope you can get this resolved quickly with no damage to you.

    I agree with Ray!

    1. What the linked account does is gives the benefit of the highest seller rating to the other account. I can sell up to $5K and 100 auctions off of my account at any given time. This joker has a 5 auction and $500 limit. But they have been flagged as fraudulent twice before and ended up locking my account. Ebay claims they removed the link, yet it is still there when I look at my account. If you go to MyEbay and look at the selling info, there is a section for it there.

      I am now going to the police and getting a fraud case started with them. So my lunch is shot for today but maybe they can get this looser.

  4. That's just plain nasty. These people are parasites. Take em down Chris, both for yourself and the greater good!

    1. I have opened a case with the local police department. Not sure if it will do any good. I can hope though.
