What the heck is up with eBay?

Post by _Jersey Girl »

Okay, this is more of a rant/complaint than an inquiry.

Occasionally, I buy something off eBay. Maybe 4x's a year if that. I don't bid in auctions, I just use the "Buy it Now" option.

So, I've been emailing one particular seller asking the same question over and over again and never got a response. Thus the "over and over again" part.

I looked on my eBay account and there was an "alert". So, I check it out and get this, it says I changed my email address.

Soooooo...I go to the "profile" and sure enough, there's a different/bogus email address there! I had to jump through some hoops to fix it.

How in the world does that happen? I know for a fact that no family member did this. So, what is up with that?

Sounds like you have been hax0r3d.
And crawling on the planet's face
Some insects called the human race
Lost in time
And lost in space...and meaning
