I put into my id and the usual password, but it is not accepting it.
A friend of mine has found that someone late last night has added more things for me to sell and on the products I am selling, they have changed my email address to theirs, so that any instant payments will go straight to them. HELP. I have tried to contact ebay but can only send emails, there is no phone number for them, and I am worried about what I can do next, do you have any ideas about what else I can do? Has anyone had any problems like this before? Hope you can help me!

You mention about "instant payments" which leads me to believe that you are using Paypal..if you are in the UK ring Paypal now on

You are obviously the victim of a scamster who probably emailed you a link, seemingly from Ebay - get in touch with Ebay and report this ASAP but in future I would suggest that you hovver your mouse over any PAYPAL or Ebay email "link" and see the address that shows when you do this - if it is a load of gobbledegook then it is yet another fraudlulent attempt to hack into your details!

This has happened to me before, email eBay that are usually very good with this kind of thing, they will block your account, eventually refund all the fraudulent listing fees and ask you to change your password, so let eBay know and they will sort it out.

You just have to email eBay straight away. I found this phone number which is supposed to be for eBay's UK customer service: 0700 800 3229. I haven't tried it (I'm not willing to fork out for international calls for strangers!) but it might work.
