Is it possible that when you intended to log into your existing eBay account using Google, you inadvertently created a new eBay account/username instead? And then not realizing you were logged into this new account rather than your usual eBay username, proceeded to place bids using the newly-created username rather than your usual one, unaware that you were doing so?

Never log into ebay or any financial institution via Google, Facebook etc. You really don't want those folks gathering any further intel about your personal stuff than necessary.

Always go straight to the site yourself...

If you think for one minute those folks aren't building a profile on you, you are wrong... also if they get hacked chances are your data goes to the hackers...

I don't see how, and I assume I would be allowed to create my own username, which didn't happen here.

If you have your original password account, and then sign in via your google you are logging into/creating a new account (using your google info)?

You have two ebay accounts: your old and a new via google.

The way Paypal does two factor authentication is extremely poor.

We had ours compromised a couple years ago, not via the Paypal or Ebay sites, but through email.
Using the email, the email password was changed, then the paypal password, all via the "I forgot my password" link.
Then they sent two payments to some foreign country.
We changed everything back, contacted the bank, which said they had to let the fraudulent charges go through before they could cancel them??
Filed complaints with Paypal first, and in less than 12 hours they denied them saying that me sending $400 to zimbabawe or wherever and twice in the same day was "normal activity"

So passwords changed, email tied to the account changed, 2FA set up. None of it done from the computer as we suspected a keylogger that the anti malware/virus software didn't catch (and still hasn't so I haven't been able to trust the computer for 2 years... )

A month later, the same thing. But a bit slicker.
Oh yeah. Paypal sends a text asking if the payment is legit. At 4 AM. And if you don't respond they assume the payment is ok and send it through anyway. Making their 2FA worthless.

This time they covered their tracks a bit better by deleting the payment confirmation email from the server so I never received it.

I have had some crazy hacks too but deleting the confirmation email is something I haven't heard of. That must be scamming 102.

Google provides a pretty easy way to manage your security. If you go here and log in to your Google account you can change the way your info is being used. To the OP you can remove that Google login to eBay here:

https://myaccount.google.com/security

Scroll down to the bottom to the section that says "Signing into other sites" then click on eBay and a "remove" button will appear. In fact, you can even turn off that "feature" completely here.

Likewise the links on the left side will allow you to control a lot of things in your Google account including how your data is used.

While I am no means an expert on such things, with the proper precautions I'm comfortable with the way Apple and Google handle this stuff, at least in my use case.

On the other hand I would NEVER trust Facebook. Period. Full disclosure I do not have a Facebook account, though I did create one for my dog for friends and family to share stuff.
