How is eBay using identity confirmation to help protect all sellers?
As we announced in April, eBay began noting which computers members use to conduct their buying and selling activity. Starting in July, if you are a seller, and you attempt to list an item from a different computer – for example, from a PC you are borrowing in a hotel or library – we will ask you to confirm your identity. Confirming your identity is easy. When prompted, you can choose to receive an automated call to one of the numbers you have registered with us. If this is not possible, we will provide the alternative method of an automated call to a new number. The alternate method will require you to provide additional information, such as the correct answer to your secret question.
