I believe eBay may be experiencing a large amount of accounts being compromised/taken over and that some of the log in issues being reported may be related to this issue and/or eBay’s response to it.
I have had several orders this week that I received notices from eBay not to ship because the buyer was claiming the account was used without authorization and there have been several posts in the message boards showing the same.
One seller received over 100 orders from compromised accounts in one weekend and is working through the mess of how to cancel them all without any negative effect to their account, not to mention how to get the PayPal fees refunded.
