I had a very similar problem with ebay. Account made with my email, not me. Again, no email verification. To make it worse I couldn't log in and delete the account since ebay required security questions to do a password reset. I ended up trying to track down and call the person, it was a while ago but I think I even sent them snail mail. (there was enough info in the emails to track them down, maybe a shipping address when they won an auction?)
Eventually they stopped, but no thanks to ebay.
Why is email address verification not more standard?
Thats funny, a month or so ago I tried to sign up for an eBay account and never managed to make it through the buggy email verification. Last I checked I still can't use the account, or create another with the same email address.

I had this happen to me too, but no security questions. So I just deleted the account.
