same here, i hadn't used ebay in over a year. the card i had on there was expired too.

it's the paypal that i'm getting screwed with. the card on that account is closed now, so is my other card just incase.

I know the date the transaction was made...i don't think paypal lists the time, but i'll check the event viewer when i get home. I'm going to call time warner and see if i can request activity logs for that day as well.

EDIT: regardless, ebay account is now closed. Paypal is soon to follow. I only used it to pay people on here so anyone i buy something from is gonna have to settle from a money order.


I hope you realize that by closing your account, not only do you make yourself look suspicious, but you deny any further assistance from ebay in finding the culprit. PayPal will not allow you to close your account if something suspicious is outstanding, and doing so will not look good to the credit card company. Basically, if you're innocent, they assume you wouldn't close your accounts, because that makes you look very guilty of fraud. If you want the money back, I suggest keeping the accounts until the issue is resolved. Just change your passwords and your security questions/answers, and wait to close your accounts. I don't see why getting the police involved would be a bad idea in the first place, but if you were to call them now after having closed your ebay account, they're certainly going to assume you're trying to pull something.
