Hi,
I'm new to Auctive, I've only been using it for a few weeks, and i just received this email from someone on ebay. I tried to get online help but it says that it is offline. Any advice?? Thanks!

"Hello? I just logged into my auctiva account and lo and behold your account and information is all over my screen! WOW! I was trying to do a new listing and clicked on saved listings for boots and you account is there! Please notify ebay and auctiva as soon as possible. This is the scariest thing I have yet to see on ebay. You may want to change all of yopr passwords etc. YIKES...I am freaking out. What is happening here?"

Is there a link in the email? Don't sign in using that link...it might be phishing for your account information.

I would immediately contact HELP with Auctiva and let them do the homework.

If you can..go to online help with eBay...once again...do not sign into eBay with any link in the email from the other consumer...it might be phishing for your password.

If the email came through via contact member...report it to eBay and let them do the research on phishing.

Best of Luck,
Donna
Thanks for all of the responses. I have contacted a few different departments within ebay. The first 2 groups that I spoke with said that it was Auctiva's issue since the person got in through Auctiva's web site. I'm still waiting for a response from the other two groups that I contacted. Auctiva's first response was that it was an Ebay issue. I've have sent more information to Auctiva to clairify and I am waiting for their second response.
The only reason I really feel like this was an unintentional thing was that the person only listed 1 item with a listing fee of 0.55. Then when I contacted her she asked me to remove it and offered to repay me if ebay wouldn't reimburse me. Maybe I'm crazy, but this person seems like a genuinely nice person. That said, I've still changed all of my passwords.
Thanks again for all of the advice!
Ok, I'm starting to understand. I believe that your ebay password was NOT stolen. My theory:
Some Auctiva user signed in, and a 'bug' in Auctiva opened the wrong account (It opened your account). The person created a listing, and posted it. As you know, you don't have to enter your ebay password to post a listing from Auctiva. So this person didn't realize that he/she wasn't in their own Auctiva account.
In this case, I believe it was Auctiva's problem, and the other person would be completely innocent.
