Hey, wanna buy a “SCAG SWZ 52 A WALK BEHIND ZEROTURN MOWER / 18 HP KOHLER / NEWâ€? ?

Or maybe a “NEW IN BOX Cisco WS-X 6724-SFP for Catalyst 6500 Seriesâ€? ?

How about a “NEW D-LINK DI-524 WIRELESS ROUTER 802. 11 BG XBOX CMPTBLâ€? ?

Because as of just a few days ago, I was selling these very items. Even though I didn’t realize I was selling these very items. Even though, heck, I still don’t even know what these very items are !

Someone had busted in to my eBay account — perhaps while using the “New IBM Thinkpad T 60 p Laptop Duo 2. 16 Gz 200795 U T 60â€? or the “NEW !! DELL Inspiron E 1505 6400 LAPTOP NOTEBOOK 100 GBâ€? that it looked like I was selling.

How this happened, I’m not sure. I do use eBay. I buy things (makeup, jewelry, sometimes a car ) and I sell things (old books, unwanted impulse buys, sometimes a car ). But I know never to click on the links provided in totally convincing-looking eBay e-mails; I always go directly to eBay. com. And I know better than to heed the directions in — or even open — the suspicious-looking correspondence that arrives from time to time.
