Security concern

[chjecje.r5qsvyx]

Had some very unusual behavour using eBay today. Logged in the a little later being asked to log in again. Second login fails with message suggesting I need to stop blocking cookies (but I don't block cookies).

Tried again and eventually did log in. But along the way I saw the unusual username appear in the login window ...

A bit concerning, so I took a screenshot, see attached.

The screenshot shows the user name you are logged in with here now

Is that not your eBay username? Did ou choose your own username when you joined eBay ir was it decided for you?

(Your eBay username is not your real name, just your 'eBay name') 

Does anyone in your household use the same computer ?

Now I'm realy concerned !!

A few minutes ago I posted "Security concern" and described login problems I had today. In that post I attached  a screenshot showing a wierd username that had appeared in my login window "chjecje.5qsvyx".

After I submitted my post I noticed it was posted uinder that weird name, not mine !! uurrrggh.

Now I'm realy concerned !!

Attaching the screenshot again.

Hoping this second post goes up in my true username, and someone can explain what may be happening

thanks

Haha ebay gave OP that user name and then OP got a shock because it isn't what they wanted so OP you need to go to your account details and click to change your username to what you want it to be.

Scratch that then as OP has said it's not their username.

NO, it's not my username!! please see my subsequent re-post under my true username

Like bear said is there anyone else in your family that has an account?

I just checked and that ID is now on these boards live.

If nobody else in your houshold has logged in with that name, you might be best getting eBay to call you (emailing is useless)

Are you on a shared computer/unsecure connection/public internet?

[enigmabear]

Or, if there is nobody else in your household who has just joined eBay with or without you knowing (could someone there have opened their own account to buy something?) They may have forgotten to sign out after making their purchase?

are you on a public computer/shared wifi?

[enigmabear]

To  add, have you checked your Paypal to see if the purchase the other name has made has come out of your account?

Might be good to change your Paypal password just in case

Or phone your bank tomorrow to make sure nothing has been bought with your account there

This is strange indeed because I just checked and the OP username has 1 feedback from a seller but when you search the sellers feedback it doesn't show up at all in the sellers feedback but it shows in OPs feedback lol.
