The Ebay Topic

[wiggy]

I love that eBay made everyone change their password (only time I've seen them make me do so in 15+ years) and of course they make no mention of a security breach.  Riiiiiight, just make us all change our passwords for no good reason. I change mine every month, which was about 2 weeks ago, so it sure wasn't necessary for me to do so unless there was some bullshit happening on their end.

I also received an email from ebay telling me to reset my password, however, they also mentioned the security breach in my email.

To help ensure customers' trust and security on eBay, I am asking all eBay users to change their passwords.

Here's why: Recently, our company discovered a cyberattack on our corporate information network. This attack compromised a database containing eBay user passwords.

What's important for you to know: We have no evidence that your financial information was accessed or compromised. And your password was encrypted.

I saw a note somewhere that said if i used the same password on other websites to change those passwords as well. Obviously they got our passwords but hopefully not our bank info.

As I understand it and from everything that I've read about the eBay breach...  Passwords, addresses, and personal info was at risk, but NOT any financial information.  Not sure how true that is, but that's the story they're apparently putting out.

I received the same email, saying about the breach and if I had the same password in another site that was better to change that one too

Damn. I didn't get any email like that :/ I just got a message saying that they were "asking" me to change my password, and then wouldn't let me login if I didn't. There was no explaination in the message.

I hate crap like this:

$80 but wait... it's $60 on the manufactures web site. And looks like this is their ebay store.   But worst ones are people who sell new releases at 50%+ price you can get them brand new.

Gameseek is the only real place to get UGC's in the UK and I was going to buy 25 from them on ebay but had a nosey at their own website and bought 25 from them at 40% less than their ebay price!

Whaaaat? How did he shrink the SGB and GB game to fit in an SNES cart?

Have you ever seen the inside of the Super Gameboy? Its probably smaller than you think.

This is the Super Famicom SGB but you get the idea

Man check out how much a Destiny Alpha pass is selling for.... I guess some people have no patience. The game comes out in three months. Whats the rush is the world coming to an end by then.

Maybe he made a custom label for it, I've never seen one like that.  Thought all the carts had to show the rating too (May be wrong there), so it wouldn't be a legit label.  He's not selling a bunch of rare games so that's a plus, and the back isn't blank like most fake ones.   But it doesn't look to have a lip on the back like I'm used to, and all the lettering looks soft.

I would not trust it . . .
If it was a custom label, He would have said it.
