Hi there! I have heard that somehow theres a possibility that your e-bay account can be hacked. Is this true? I have an account with e-bay for quite time now but I never realize that it could be hijacked or anything more! I see that they are fighting against scams very solid! Could you say few words about this matter!

Hi! That is completely true. But, hackers cant do that without your help. Sometimes you are not aware that mails which you receive are actually hidden tasks of the hackers. They supposedly legitimately send you mails with all sorts of things which could bring you to input data of your credit card and so on. This is actually called phishing and this is one of the ways in which you could give those data so they could hijack your bank or any other account! So, be aware of that thing and DO NOT give any informations to the ones that seem phishy to you
