Eazy_b97 1 Report post Posted August 14, 2005 Hello All, I seem to have a problem. I got a fairly nasty letter from E-bay today. Threatening to suspend and terminate my account if I do not update it. Problem is, they want my credit card information, and it seems a little sketchy. The E-mail provides a link, but I had problems working with the software to get it. Then I went to sign-in on E-bay and thats where the prompted me to fill in the credit card information. I'm kind've weary, should I be worried? Anyone have a similar experience? I know I'll loose all my feedback, I have about 20, all positive, but would I be able to open a new account? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eazy_b97 1 Report post Posted August 14, 2005 Thanks for the help guys. Password, Changed! I didn't enter my CC number when prompted to. Weird thing is, I followed the link, but it didn't load, then went into Ebay seperately, then it prompted me for my CC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mickz 107 Report post Posted August 14, 2005 I've never had to provide a CC number to purchase off eBay... selling on the other hand, I haven't experienced yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
notorious#29 0 Report post Posted August 14, 2005 Yeah I had the same problem a few days ago Eazy. If you entered your password on the fake site, change your ebay password ASAP. Thanks for that advice, BruinsFanRI. I never thought about that. Just changed my password :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
