Hello,

 

i dont know where to post this so il post it just here.

 

Yesterday i bound my bank accound to my newly created paypal accound. I havent bought anything with it yet. I live in the netherlands btw.. 

 

So anyway. Today i look on my mail and see that i created a ebay accound on 23:20. The name in the ebaymail was ' Hello: 123123123 123123123'

 

So yea what should i do now? Is it normal paypal creates a ebay accound? It doesnt sound that normal :S. I already asked to close that ebay accound. I clicked on forgot pasword on the link and came up with a new password in case.. 

 

Can anyone help me?

No that's not normal.

Did you activate the Ebay account?

I don't think that is supposed to happen, maybe someone has access to your information.

Srry about with spellingmistakes, im just typing this stressfull since i dont want to lose money or anything. What ive seen is that on the dutch version of ebay, many accound information has to be filled in whereas with the usa version you just need a name, email and a password. And this person used the name 123123123 and backname 123123123. My ebay accound is further completely empty, no paypal accound registerd, or telephone numbre. The shipping adress is in the usa btw.. 

 

Both ebay mails where englisch as well, whereas the accound closure mail was dutch.

It could be spam, so I would get it checked out and change you Paypal info as well as contacting paypal and getting it unconnected

That is not suppose to happen. I would advise that you go to your bank and put a hold on any payments on your credit card/bank accound(see what i did there i spelt account like you  :P)  also, contact paypal's support via phone, right away to rectify this error. Prepare for a long phone call to paypal.

Ebay have had bad luck with being compromised recently, I would report this to Ebay and to Paypal.

Compromsed? since i have never ever used ebay before. This guy just made a ebay accound on my email. He didnt even needed to activate it since the welcome mail didnt mention anything about it.

Sounds like a spam mail. Report it just incase. 

Well, idk if it is possible to log in with that accound on ebay. the real one. and see all the mails, the password change i made to get into the acc etc... in the in-ebay mailbox?

 

I dont think thats possible if it was spam..

just dont click on any links in the email they could be a phishing email. were they fake, that it is paypal or ebay so you click a fake link and enter your details. 

I have already clicked on the link wich only directed me to ebay. I have clicked the forgot password option and made a random new password incase it was fake. I gone to the dutch version ebay.nl as well and tried logging in there. Wich worked... However i have not logged in on my paypal execept via google.
