Wow..that is just wild.
Did you also re-set the security questions and check for associated (not yours) e-mail addresses and phone numbers that might have gotten attached to your account.
I admire your tenacity. If it had been that difficult to clear up my hacked account, I might have just thrown in the towel or gotten a new username/account. Guess it's more a principle (pal?) kinda thing at this point, eh?
No kidding. What a PITA. Should be able to do something like this in one or two calls. Don't know where the call centers are but some of the people (kids to me, lol) on the other end were hard to understand.
Was starting to wonder if I would have to close my ebay acct. and start a new one from scratch, but would have lost nearly 600 feedbacks (at 100%) and didn't want to lose that.
Shoot, now that you mention it, I need to fix the security question as the one that should still work doesn't. The only way it would work to change the phone number on the account would be to use one of our cell phone numbers I guess.
