Sharpiemarker, Thanks for the clarification. I don't believe my email was comprimised; haven't had any notices about it and it works okay although I DID go to my email provider yesterday and immediately changed the password to make it MUCH stronger (I had fallen into that habit of using the same password for all accounts - I'm changing them ALL now!); my provider does not offer authentication though. Maybe things will get better now as this really takes a lot of time to clear up. Again --- thanks for the reply

My 20 year amazon account and eBay account were recently hijacked by somebody in china. Need to keep my paypal from being hijacked in the future!!
If I turn on 2 factor authentication, if a bozo attempts to either change my paypal password or get into my paypal account the way I understand it is 2 factor authentication is suppossed to text my phone and if it's not legit the password CAN'T be changed right?
I suspect the way the ***** got my ID was from facebook where I was using my name as user id and then simply walking over to amazon and selecting "forgot password" and he was then sent the password and then he changed the username / email of the account and stole it. Since then I have changed my facebook name to something he won't be able to imagine. With 2 factor, I shouldn't really have to change the name in Paypal? I will choose a stronger password to my Paypal in just a moment also.
Thanks

Thanks for the reply, TimePerfected - and the tip!! Regards, Mark @TimePerfected wrote: You can sell those ebay but your protection is greatly reduced against digital items. You might want to sell the digital items and have the required authentication mailed to the buyers physically with tracking (first class mail) as opposed to via email or eBay messages. Good Luck!

Hi all, Have a few "DIGITAL HD coupons" from Blu Ray movies I've purchased. I do not have the bandwidth needed to watch these, but they WOULD benefit somebody who does..... is it okay to sell these on eBay or is against their policy?.... No disk - just the coupon; I see others selling them for $3.00 - $5.00 on eBay... Thanks, Mark
