My ebay on listing got erased...?

Question

after I received an email saying that a member was talking bad aobut me with a link - i clicked on a link and 4 minutes before my item was to be sold everything got erased!
Has this happened to anyone?

Yes, I think you got hit by a phishing scam. Someone e-mailed with a question on an item I had and after I responded my account was suspended for shill bidding. I must have logged in to a fake site and the person used my info to get into my real auctions.

You might want to cancel your credit card if you have it on file with e-bay and report this to ebay right away. Be sure to change your password also.

Yeah, this really stinks!
