<p>[QUOTE="HowardStern, post: 1926245, member: 26533"]Thank you Peter for the heads up. My ebay was hacked last year. Since I check my pp balance very often, I caught the thief in the process. I noticed $100's missing as they were in the process of emptying my pp acct. They were buying random expensive items from my ebay account and having them shipped to an address in Canada. The thief changed my "Gift address" to a Canadian one. I didnt even know I had a gift address. I contacted all the sellers and told them not to ship anything to Canada. I then called ebay and paypal as the thief was still buying stuff. They had me change this hidden gift account address, along with my passwords. I'm sure the thief was never caught, but I did get reimbursed rather quickly. Sellers should be more afraid of recieving a returned, not as described, box of rocks from scammer buyers. When this happened to me it tool ebay 6 months to return $500 of mine. I even had a police report because I took the "underweight" returned box to the station to have them open it and document the contents.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
