Password and Account Protection:
Safety Tips: Be cautious of emails that ask you to submit personal information such as your credit card number or your eBay password. Some members have reported attempts to gain access to their personal information through email solicitations that are made to appear as having come from eBay. These solicitations will often contain links to web pages that will request that you sign-in and submit information. At eBay, we identify these as 'spoofed' emails or websites. Remember, eBay employees will never ask you for your password. If you receive or suspect you have received such an email, do not respond to it or click the links. Immediately send a copy of it to spam@ebay.com. To be sure that you are signing into a genuine eBay website, look at the Address/Location field of your browser. At an eBay Sign-In or log-in page, the URL (link) that appears in the Address/Location field of your browser will begin with "http://cgi.ebay.com/" or "http://cgi1.ebay.com/" (see the following illustrations).
Please note that the above examples apply to the eBay.com website. Our international sites will have slightly different sign-in URLs. A more complete set of URLs is listed below: United States Sites
