With the current system, buyer/seller ratings that are now in place (for the past 5 years or so) it would take one hell of a hack to "fake" your ebay reputation or steal someone else's for that matter. Just my 2¢ -WIT
It is possible, I got email with official Ebay header, logo and by all accounts looked legit including email tracking headers stating their was a problem with my account, and to use the hot links supplied in email to change my ebay password. It was fake..
There are fake PayPal emails too and I had money stolen a few years ago which I was lucky enough to get back. What I'm saying is that, if you are logged into ebay find a seller that has something you want to buy, it would be VERY hard for them to fake their 800(or whatever) Positive Feedbacks. It's just not happening
The point I was trying to make is if they can scam someone into giving their password, they can use their username and password to login and change anything in their account they wish to change including their shipping address. You can tell by the spacing of their feedback how often the account is used, which will give someone an idea of how often the account is monitored.....
I am just saying it is possible to use someone elses account....
