I didn't know where to post this. It seems there are more than a few OT threads on this sub-forum, so here goes..

I just got a call from a credit card company, informing me of suspicious activity on my credit card account. Yup, somebody got my credit card info and started buying things. And I'm almost sure it is a result of my ebay account being hacked.

I sell on ebay very infrequently. Recently I wanted to sell a few things, and ebay insisted (surprise) that I link a credit card to my account. I hate giving my credit card info to anybody for any other reason than I'm purchasing something. But, to sell on ebay I had no choice.

The reason I think my ebay account was hacked is that I almost never use that particular credit card. That's precisely why I used it for ebay. The last time I used the card in question was a few months ago. No other entity has gotten that card's info recently, not from me anyway.

In this case, seller beware..
