    So I get in my ebay account to check on some transformers I'm watching only to see two items for sale that I don't even own. A deep panic runs through my whole body. Crap. :banghead:  How have I been hi-jacked. So I contacted ebay as fast as I could and I changed my password. What should I do now? The hacker was trying to sell a 2005 Yahama Rhino 660 4x4 and a Honda CBR. He even had the nerve to say in this auction "don't contact me in ask seller a question contact me by this email". Stupid young punk. :stick:

    Ebay:
    Change PW, Report it, cancel all auctions, find the man and take the law into your own hands. At least that would be the most satisfing end to your ordeal.

    Hope you didn't have an easy to guess password. And yeah how did the guy think he was going to get away with it? What a moron.

    Bid on all his stuff and win. Then, don't pay the creep. It's not like he can leave you bad feedback.

    Edit: I think I found the pricks auctions..it says he's no longer a user. Did you get him?
