New scam for online shopping: This is how fraudsters on Amazon and Ebay operate. Fraudsters use customer data to order products through hacked seller accounts or specially created fake online shops.

Users only have limited options for action. They either pay for the goods again or send the product back, whereby they are dependent on the goodwill of the retailers. Such fraud could also increase the real price of products, as retailers often calculate their losses due to fraud. Experts warn that you should exercise extreme caution when doing anything online.
