I was the unwitting victim of an ebay hijack. I had a watch for sale and received an Ask seller a Question with just Send more pics msg. I then got another msg which had an attachment which I opened and it was the Login page from ebay.

Unfortunately I filled it in automatically not thinking and et Voila!

It was caught by ebay but they sure as hell did not offere any explanation or apologies. I sent them a source analysis of the original email When I checked my ebay profile my email had been changed to juliababy4luvemimem@aol.com or something as crazy.
