i just got scammed on ebay

i put money on a auction for a phone came back 10 minuites before auction closes and guess what my maxium bid was 20 thousand

i think someone got into my account and i won the auction and owe the seller £915.00 pounds

i cant afford that and i told the seller but no answer yet

im going to have to change my password and nickname but how is this done

Are you sure you didn't make a typo? Can you log into your account at all using your existing username and password?

When was your last bid? It says £190 and then after more bids from other users then it was the closing bid of £908. Go to the eBay Safety Centre and follow the steps for Suspicious Account Activity and they will be able to deal with it.

Click on the bid history on the auction page, ie. the 14 bids bit,you should be able to retract your bid that won the auction,I have done this before when I entered the wrong amount.It means that the 2nd person who bid highest will get the winning bid....you have to fill out a form to state the reason why you are retracting your bid but you have a legitimate reason so you should be ok.

At the bottom of the list of bidders theres "retract your bid" written in blue. Click on it and then on the next page that opens click on the fill in the retract a bid form.

Yeah looks like the seller/someone else got your password (which is very easy really) then made a troll account and bumped up your price, bidding against their troll account.

Probably someone having a laugh.

password changed now

im also buying the phone for 220

the seller said he's covered by paypal up to £500
so i should be safe

how do you is he covered by paypal for up to £500
i dont see it in his ad

im just wondering if i go to pay will the seller have changed the 908gbp figure to 220gbp figure or is that possible

There will be some problems for the seller as they will get charged final value fees on the grand finishing price.
