At about 9:00 pm (Atlantic Time) last night, I logged in to eBay.ca check some listings and when I clicked on "My eBay/Selling" got directed to page that said "This page is not available" (or words to that effect). I couldn't get into the discussion boards either.
I then noticed the URL -- very odd -- it started with something along the lines of: "my.ca.paradise....". What on earth was that?
I immediately logged off, but when I tried to log back on, nothing but the "not available" screen, and a similar URL with "paradise" in it. I tried the same sequences of steps on both Google and IE, with the same results. I didn't try .com, but I see some posts on another, older thread that something odd was going on there too.
Two days ago I mentioned at the Wednesday Board Hour that I'd been seeing the sign-in page flipping back and forth (two different designs at different times). Raphael didn't seem very interested, and seemed to suggest the problem was something I was doing wrong. Really???
Are we being hacked (again)? Did anyone else notice this last night? Considering the attack on the Canadian government computers yesterday, I wouldn't be surprised.
Another intrusion is all we need now to finish off eBay for good.

Just wanted to add, I received that email on my regular email address. I have not received it yet in my ebay messages.
Did anyone else receive this?

No, I didn't get that message at all, which is why I was surprised. Yet the feeble excuse-making does sound authentically like eBay.

I agree.
I'll let you know if I get a credit.

I didn't receive it. I don't know if their mail program is able to be that specific but perhaps only sellers with the affected listings received the email.
