found out that someone had placed a 'third party authorisation' on my account and was using it to buy items off ebay without my say so. they were basically using my ID to send other sellers emails and asking them to reply to an alternative email address (their own). I wouldn't have known except I was randomly checking my preferences and under the third party authorisations there was a name! I emailed ebay and I have had to change my password with them and also my passwords to paypal and my email account - frightening. I would tell everyone to check under third party authorisations in your preferences and if there is a name there you don't recognise check it off and email ebay immediately - I have said to them they should at least send the seller an email when a third party authorisation is requested so this can't happen





Judging from what i've seen on the street commodores site this seems pretty common so it may be a good idea for you all to check the third party preferences in your ebay acount.

Go to My Account -> Preferences -> General Preferences -> Third Party Authorizations, then select any unauthorised sellers there and click Revoke Authorization.
