Mysterious items for sale on my account

I rarely sell on eBay, mostly buy. Today i heard the kerching noise and realised that someone had bought some dishwasher tablets from me. According to the ad i have 40 of these on sale...

I haven't advertised any of these items.

Is this an ebay mistake or has my account been hacked? I just changed my password.

I would say that you've been hacked. Good move changing your password. I would contact ebay and let them know that you've been hacked and someone has bought the item the hacker advertised. At the moment, you can only use the online chat option to contact them. Click on help at the top or bottom of any eBay page and scroll to the bottom. The chat option is only available during business hours, so no point trying to contact them now. 

 

You will probably get a negative feedback when the buyer doesn't get what they paid for. Get in touch with eBay again, explain what happened, and they should remove it. If you are able to see who the buyer is, maybe send them a message and explain to them that you didn't list the item for sale. Hopefully they can put in a claim for a refund if they've paid.

And if your original password was something no one could guess, consider that either your computer is compromised with a keystroke logger or you clicked on an eBay email that wasn't from eBay.
