Yes and it has been covered on British TV News programmes today.

Can we not create Passwords in 'Sandbox' enviorements?

Ghosty.

What can they do with the passwords, buy more items for the collectors?

You are right Marcel......With my E Bay Password they can only read my very polite E Mails to my Great E Bay Lesney Sellers, and also outbid me on some of my rare Moko finds, that is all. kwakers

I do believe a lot of ebay accounts are associated with the peoples PAYPAL account and therefor can take all your money as your PayPal account is again linked to your real bank account,
just a thought... big risky business all those websites linked!

If I pay after an ebay win I am REDERECTED to paypal and have to log in again with another password.
I have no monies on my paypal account. My paypal account takes money from my bankaccount and I don't have a creditcard.
I can always cancel a bantransaction with my bank untill at least 1 month after a transaction was made.
Dutch bankaccounts are protected that way.
I realy think hackers of Ebay account can't do much beside buying items on collectors id but then the items will be sent to the ebay account owner so what would be the reason to do so.

Mine was hacked They change my email adress and phone number, so when I wanted to change i would send the link to another email or phone. I saw that thanks to this thread (thank you Brad), changed it back to my email and phone, so I think Im in the clear.
