After what seems like umpteen chats with ebay in the past week, the problem appears to have been fixed. Got shuffled 'round and 'round between different dept's explaining the same issue over and over. Lost track of how many times they asked for my first and last name... Grrr.
It was an internal ebay issue and not a virus or malware on my PC.
Tried to log into ebay today and couldn't. My acct. got locked down because of an unauthorized login attempt from another country today or yesterday. So reset my ebay password for the 4th time. @#$%!
Received another case opened message yesterday, but turns out it was an item I previously allegedly sold last week. More time and dept's today (including a redial because the line dropped out) to get it removed. My selling page now says I have sold 30 items in July but have sold nothing in 2 years. After removing all the items from my selling page, they say I owe 5 cents for listing fees. Pffft. Yet another call to make.
Several of the cases opened were for the same item and ebay says that shouldn't be able to happen.
No message from a buyer or a case opened message today so I am hoping this is fixed for good now. Still no idea how it happened.
