Likely what happened is the crooks didn't fraudulently sell 8 items from your acct....they probably sold 800. So the messages are just streaming in because your account is still linked to those sales.
Can you see the bad sales in your ebay account? Maybe those are just phishing attempts you are receiving about unreceived merch?
Yes, they showed up as actual sales and could be phishing attempts. Ebay deleted all the listings and refunded the buyers and the selling fees that ebay had charged me. The items no longer come up in ebay's system and can't find out anything more about the items or where all the buyers were supposedly from. But were the buyers ebay refunded the crooks or legit buyers? I did send a message back to one of the buyers and heard nothing back. Maybe replying to a message was not a good thing?
I would be nice to get an idea how they do this. Is it that they are hacking into ebay's system or is it at my end?
