The other day, I received an eBay notification stating that a buyer had reported their account as hijacked and the purchase unauthorised, so they also cancelled the transaction and advised me not to post, or if I had, to try and retrieve the package.

The only problem was, the purchase was made 3 weeks earlier, and on the same day the same buyer purchased the same item from one of my other stores, just in a different colour, both going to the same name and same address.

I find it difficult to believe someone would go to the trouble of hijacking an ebay account in order to make an almost identical low value purchase, and pay for it with a non-hijacked PayPal account. 😕
