So yea. I was going to post a blog last night rather than today, but I had a minor hiccup.

By which I mean I was flipping out.

Why? Because someone hijacked my eBay account. And I had to sort it out with customer service. Apparently, some third party came into my account and listed a Tractor up for sale. I found out about this when someone sent me an email saying I was a fraud and committing a felony.

As you can imagine, my reaction to that was...not positive. Now, here's where things just get plain weird. Shortly after contacting customer support, they asked me what the item number was. Well, I gave them one and they couldn't find the item. Turns out the item number changed every time I refreshed the page. What the crap?!

Also, within the listing, potential buyers were instructed to email the seller via a separate email address, as he "could not be reached" by using the "contact seller" option provided by eBay. What's worse, it had some sob story about how he was selling it because it was a gift for his brother, but his brother recently passed away and he has no desire to continually be reminded of his brother's presence. Hah.

Luckily, eBay's security team figured it out for me, removed the listing, and credited me with any fees associated with the auction. However, they severely pissed me off. They simply refused (weren't allowed) to tell me if the listing was made from my own home computer. I desperately wanted to know this to see if it was a virus! But they just wouldn't tell me. What the freaking crap?! Geez. So basically, I'm really paranoid right now. I feel like everything I do has been monitored, and things like my email and bank account have had their security compromised.

Ugh. This really sucks.
