There are many easy ways to protect your account on eBay:

• Don't share your password with others. Protect it. Remember: eBay will never ask for your password.

• Choose a strong password and change it often.

• Create a unique password by using a combination of letters and numbers that are not easily guessed.

• Avoid using the same password for other accounts.

• Use caution when someone asks for sensitive information through email. If you get an email requesting personal information and you're unsure whether eBay actually sent it, check your My Messages inbox in My eBay. If the email is not there, it's fake. Do not click any links or enter information. Instead, forward the email to spoof@ebay.com

• Download the eBay Toolbar with Account Guard. This free eBay tool lets you know when you're on an official eBay or PayPal Web site. It also protects you by letting you know when you're giving your password to a non-eBay site.
