    Default OMG, how did this happen?

    LINK

    I do not understand it, I did not list this, or the 42 other items just like it.

    I did download TurboLister last night. Do you think that has something to do with it?[/url]

    Change your password, close the auctions and contact ebay ASAP. It looks like your account got hacked.

    I am on hold with eBay's fraud people now.

    eBay believes that I (or more likely, my wife) clicked a link within a listing that led to a fake login page, and one of us submitted the username and password to a phisher.

    I find it to be a strange coincidence that this happened the same day that I downloaded their Turbo Lister tool, which leads me to wonder if it has a security leak.

    I am just glad that they didn't try that password out anywhere else and that they didn't change my information.

    By the looks of those auction listing times, it looks like turbolister was used. When I have listed using that in the past, that is how they have looked.

    I too worry about saving my login/pass in the turbo lister program let alone use it, but I never had a problem.

    I sugges looking through your internet history to see if you can locate the phishing site. I think it would be much more likely that it happened through that, than hacking or other more difficult methods.
