Hi. Is it possible at all for an outside 3rd party to compromise your selling account in any way?

I've been dealing with a very bad stalker issue from a female and she's trying everything she can to ruin my life.

Can she compromise my selling account in anyway?

Thanks

nothing will happen as long as you do not give access to devices where you have been logging in and 2FA must be turned on

She can buy something from you and leave you nasty feedback

I've been down this road. Play their game, don't ignore it.

Re: Need Advice
 

if she is doing this via Ebay,you can report her

Re: Need Advice
 

Where are you selling?

Short answer is yes

Re: Need Advice
 

Good54, try to get backup accounts going in case this stalker reports you and causes issue - if you know her buyer handle, block from bidding

EU and US.

How?

This isn't a stealth.

Re: Need Advice
 

If she knows your account info, sure. If she doesn't, I would worry too much about it.
But the other guys are right, the most annoying thing she probably can do is buy something from you on ebay or AMZ and report it or leave bad feedback.

This stalker knows about your eb account? If not - I wouldn't worry about it

this thread is an outright invitation for stalkers , instructions they can get here would replace years of experience

Re: Need Advice
 

To be fair, these sorts of people are pretty good at messing with people's lives already. They would figure it out.

Re: Need Advice
 

these instructions allow offline stalkers to easily move online

I agree and disagree.

The last time this happened to me was because someone wanted a refund, I denied it, they then requested the marketplace to refund them, I provided evidence to support my side, they were then denied a refund a second time...

So he spent about 2 weeks creating ⊗⊗⊗⊗ reddit usernames, and making threads, and posting using my information. Once I refunded him in silence, he stopped. I think if you bring attention to what they're doing, they'll just keep doing it.

This is the whole point of them doing it. Eventually they'll stop, assuming whatever caused this is resolved. So if its in the case of refunding, maybe consider. Just have to weigh pro/cons.

I trolled my customer because he got rejected twice, and that was my last lesson in realizing its pointless to do that. There is no winning, if anything it leaves an open door for crazy land.

My loss $200, but in reality he could have caused me much more issues, and loss of sales. If the time it takes to fix the problem is less time than it would be for you to simply refund, move on and sell more items to replace this loss, do that. For your own peace its worth it.

I agree, this is coming from a place of wisdom.

but ideally if we're in the right, we shouldn't have been blackmailed like this and there should have been seller protection in place to prevent something like it.

wishful thinking?

I don't really see a lot of instructions being written though...so I don't see big informative news - just common sense
