·I think I'm being scammed, but I can't figure out how it works if I am. Here's the story so far.
I received over $400 in my Paypal account last night from ebay auctions. This was a shock to me as I'm not selling anything on eBay. The payments came from three different item listings, but the item description was exactly the same. Anyway, I called paypal and got them to reverse the charges so the people got their money back. While talking to paypal the item listings magically became invalid. Paypal advised me to change my password and security questions, but that it was probably a typo error on the sellers part.
This morning I start getting getting payments again. Almost $400 worth so far. This time the listing is still vaiid. Item # 200535067979. The seller cuoz0w seems wrong to me. Has 18 postive feedbacks from various items as a buyer, but they are all on the same date and within minutes of each other. The eBay users that are sending me money appear to be legit. Most have been eBay users for years.
I can't get ahold of eBay as they don't provide a telephone number for customer service. I've been waiting for one of their live chat people for over 2 hours now.
I'm pretty sure this is a scam of some sort, but I can't figure out how. Anybody have experience with this or see through it?
