Just thought I would update on what happened with my account being hacked.
As of about 2 weeks ago, I thought things had finally been taken care of. But no....
On Aug. 11th, I got this message from ebay in response to a case opened on the same day for something I allegedly sold to someone:
"We’ve issued a full refund of US $27.99 on Aug 11, 2015 to the buyer as it appears your selling account was compromised. You will not be asked to reimburse eBay for this amount."
And then yesterday I got this message from ebay:
"We issued a partial refund of US $19.99 to gman****** for this case (**********). When we refund a buyer for a case, you still need to pay your eBay reimbursement charge. Please pay by adding funds to your PayPal account."
What the fork?? My account gets hacked and causes me no end of grief and now ebay wants me to pay a reimbursement charge??? Are they serious??? My account is still shut down unless I contact ebay once again and reset my password. I have reset it so many times now I have a sheet full of scratched out passwords. :M:M
Good thing I removed the link to my Paypal account otherwise ebay would have grabbed the money regardless.
"Account takeovers" as ebay calls them have been going on for years. Why can't they fix this? Amazon doesn't have these sorts of issues.
