In your letter you say that you have closed the Change your Password Option,I am one of the poor unfortunate account holders that had their account hacked into.Since being taken off ebay I have tried relentlessly to get back on asking for assistance in regaining my account status.I.E. I have asked to be re-enstated as I changed my passowrd just after I removed 43 items from my site that were not mine and then asked ebay to remove the fee they had creditied to my account.(they removed the fee)but all I have had is automated emails telling me of the seriousness of this matter but no email to my addressto tell me how to complete the password change.
This is not the first time this has happened to my account either! Last august I had an item placed on my account which took 14 days to sort out before they let me back on. Why is it then that the ebay account holder is treated like a criminal rather than a vistim?
An ebay spoksman was to have said to the daily star newspaper today that they are working closely with the trading standards and the police to stop this fraudulant activity.What happens to the account holder in the mean time,are they kept hanging on a thread with no hope of re-gaining their site?
I have left many a message with regards to re-enstatement only to have an automated email sent back,very frustrating and stressful.Am I now lead to believe that there is definately no hope of getting back on ebay because of the "Password Change"being suspended????
You don,t understand the anguish it causes till it happens to you !!!!!!!!!!!!
