Default eBay - Identity Theft

Hey guys just wanted to give all of you a heads-up. Someone on eBay has stolen my identity. They are going under the user name mikol0024. They are using my name, address, and password - Watch Yourselves! He has already robbed someone on eBay of $4,000.00 and now I am going to have to deal with this crap.

I don't have the auction #. I just got a call from a woman in Ohio that made a payment to mikol0024 on a 4-horse trailer - she did not write down the item #. When things started to look bad, she looked up the phone number on anywho.com for the user she thought she bought the trailer from - Me. She just called me to see if I was really going to ship the trailer. I have no idea how to track the person that is using my name on eBay to scam people. This is very frustrating!!

I have no idea how, maybe just lurking around eBay/hacking. They didn't get credit card info. I canceled them and they looked at my recent transactions and nothing was wrong there. They just got my identity.

My eBay name was skunk024 which is No longer a registered user. I went to login the other day and it said wrong password or username. I have 100% feedback and the lady said they were using my feedback as-well. Crazy sh*t going on.

Contacted ebay and got my name cleared with them. They reactivated my account. The person that was using my account was trying to sell trailers, boats and stuff. I looked at my Account Status & Invoices. The person jacked up Insertion Fees like crazy. The fees were like 20-100 bucks. I was like WTF!Good thing I canceled my credit cards.
