The thieve(s) only set up 3 ebay accounts and purchased a wallet ($30.00). I wasn't charged the $1 per account by ebay, though. I do find it interesting that it may be related to a renewed card as ebay required me to update my renewed card info about 2 weeks ago. (I did this securely (hmmm) logged into my very own ebay account, of course!) I am a computer specialist and am highly trained in computer security. Every finger points at ebay, as my new card has not been used anywhere else online, and ebay is the only place that I have given my new information to. Inside job???? Maybe!!!

I hope they don't think their going to make any money from EBay! Your lucky they only opened a few eBay accounts, why would somebody steel your credit card information just to open 6 eBay account?

Although since 90% of my transactions were online and the fraud was done online, my best guess is someone who I bought something from or one of their employees got a hold of it.

Something similar happened to me the year before last. By any chance, was the stolen credit card just renewed? It turns out, the person who stole my credit card info probably got it from my renewal card that was mailed out to me. In any event, I'm glad to hear no serious damage was done (i.e. large purchases or fraud with the opened eBay accounts) and that you were able to get yourself set up with a new card. Am sorry you have to go through the hassle, though. ~ Teli Sorry to hear about your troubles, Miles. Something similar happened to me the year before last.
