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.

Did you purchase that item or has any money been taken out of your account?

Has anything been purchased as a guest using that computer recently?

The username sounds like something bot generated.

You're both still online

I agree and both of those usernames are still online

The new "account" looks like a guest account.   Have you bought anything without being logged into your usual account?

Or has someone in your family opened a new account using the ebay ID that ebay has allocated to them instead of changing it to something else that they want.

Check your paypal account to see if there is a purchase on it that is from the seller who has left feedback on that rogue account....has that account paid for something from that seller.

My guess is that Chris has purchased an item as a guest and that's why that username has come up and then he has signed in and now both usernames are appearing and are both online

That is exactly what I was thinking crow.  There seems to me to be a lot of panic over nothing.

BTW the mystery account has not left any feedback for the seller yet and there is no way that the feedback left for the buyer can be traced to the mystery account thanks to ebay hiding everything.

No updates for a while so my guess is that OP has realized what they did and is now being punished by himself for doing it haha

It looks like a guest account or a new account that is using the ebay generated ID instead of changing it to something they want.

So if you buy as a guest and receive feedback from the seller the feedback only shows in the guests account?

Because when I tried to find the feedback in the sellers account it wasn't even there lol.
