I assume I talked to you on ebay, the mantis print is in mint condition and yes the paper edges are supposed to be that way.

HIJACKED Ebay account, any advice?, by 1800garrett on Sept 11, 2008 18:48:11 GMT 1, Looking back on what happened I feel for the oldest trick in the book. When I saw the link below I thought it was some ebay forum, I didn't even look before I ckicked, silly me.
"Is that real what they talk about you in the oficial forum ? that you scam people and get their money and don't send the items ? I think is a mistake , look here is a link with the topic : 80.68.184.213/services/oficial_FORUM/community/"-Dirty Phisher

I am running a full system scan right now before I change my password, any other advice, like what part of ebay to contact so that I can relist without being charged twice?

Don't you think that the phisher will see that password as well? Or do you think this program is just for ebay password thief?

Go on www.ebay.com (not UK) and click live help at top right.
It will open up an MSN type chat window.
Tell them what has happened and they will sort it out.

HIJACKED Ebay account, any advice?, by bmjt on Sept 11, 2008 20:28:53 GMT 1, My account got hacked a few months ago, I was using a public computer in uni and was asked to enter my password more than once, didn't think anything of it, then when I got home about 40 fake GHD straighteners had been listed on my account. EBay spotted them all and cancelled them, not before some people bought a few! My account was then shut down and pasword reset etc. I had to enter new security details and send off some ID, but it still hasn't been re-opened! Had to start a new account, and wasted 100+ feedback in the process.
Then, to make to worse, I was then sent a cease + desist letter from the lawyers representing the makers of GHD! Asking for ยฃ300 to cover legal fees, and for me to send them all my stock, and details of suppliers of they would take further action! Rang them up s**tting myself and they luckily said all I had to do was send them a copy of the TKO Notice e-mail from eBay; to prove that my account had been hacked and I hadn't listed the items, which thank f**k I had kept. Closed the case there and then.
Frightening stuff, so watch out peeps, be assertive. Still not sure how they got into my account, the page I logged into wasn't an e-mail link, and I went to it direct from the site.
In regards to your case Garrett, I concur with others on the live help, which is only available on Ebay.com, but they can only help with specific issues, and if they can't help, you'll have to e-mail whoever reccommend, which might take ages to get a reply from. As per my story, eBay are usually quite good at spotting hacked accounts and you might get lucky with them disabling it without your input as it were, but yeah, live-help it, best option to start.
