what the hell i registered with ebay on sunday but did not make any bids or buys and today while checking my mail, i see a receipt from a paypal for a masturbator i have never bought. I reported it with ebay and they informed me that it's a fake one. anybody ever had or is facing this kinda problem.

Sounds like the problem is between the chair and the keyboard.

Yes, but you panicked and canceled your cards before ever making sure that it was fake in the first place. Eli is right, it's a PEBCAK issue.

AHAHAHAHAHA.......let me get this straight

1. OP got a fake email about purchasing some masturbator thingy (which he might done for real...we will never know)
2. Thought he was in serious trouble and that his "identity was stolen"
3. Proceeded to cancel all credit cards/bank accounts
4. Now realized nothing really happened and he has to pay fees to get new cards
5. He's mad at ebay/paypal for getting this fake email when ebay/paypal did nothing wrong at all.

wow, gg OP...noob.

A tiger looks at you sadly and wishes you hadn't taken its name in vain

> HANG HEAD IN SHAME

A little boy with wild blond hair runs up and kicks you in the shins.

> SAY "OUCH"

He runs off with your replacement credit card.

> SAY "D'OH!"

The tiger looks at you disgustedly and follows after the boy.
