I can't use Livehelp because the prick who hacked my account has changed all the log-in passwords!

Ebay are shit, def closing my account after this.

The link I sent doesn't need your password, just ID.
It's specifically for hijacked accounts so asking for a password wouldn't make much sense!

As I said, I haven't even used ebay in months and months and if I did, any Nigerian would get sacked the fuck off with immediate effect.

Allow the car thing yeah, that was more a case of me wishing it was true rather than actually believing it.

Making me sound like a right prick you are Noble, all I did was send my paypal details over to Romania so my girlfriend Svetlana could buy an electric heater for her mum Sad
