I did.
Am I now at risk?
How should I now proceed?

This is not a joke.

And is the OP now permabanned from the forum?

Change your eBay password ASAP now.

Thanks.
Done that.
Can't see a Log Out of eBay but I have have cleared my cookies and I  no longer seem to be signed in.

Anything else?

I've just deleted the links.

I'll email the OP directly.  He won't have deliberately posted dodgy links.

If he confirms that I will accept that without question.
But (if possible) I would like to hear an explanation from the most appropriate/knowledgable forum member that can help here....

The OP titled his post as a scam - why did you put your password in!

You never need to enter a password to view item details on EBay.

Procedure seems to be change password and change secret question.
I have changed my secret question which was "Who will you be buying your next boutique pickups from?"

I can't see any activity on my account other than that I now seem to be watching a fendi selleria handbag.

How did I drop my guard? I don't know. I was signed onto ebay earlier but then cleared my cookies. All of them.
Then I looked at this thread. But why did I drop my guard? Did I think I would be looking at a Completed Item? I think that would trigger a log-in page. Or was it the familiar name in the OP?
I don't know.  :-O

Take care guys!

These things happen man, live and learn.  Maybe check your paypal account? Just in case.

Crikey!

Van_Hayden

That's the point - phishing link within an ebay listing. Never seen that before!!

carlos

So you post about an ebay scam and include the phishing link? Are you insane or just nasty?

Van_Hayden

Apologies for not pointing that out on the OP

Huh? This cannot be sarcasm......... :-O   Please tell me that the Phisher (?) has hijacked your completely innocent link to a scam auction.
And then.....it would be good to understand how he did that.

Yes?
