Important Info: New Account Verification + Paypal Only!!
Hi everyone,
After checking through the forums, I just realised that no one addressed the following issues with are extremely important and would affect all of us.
I have to mention, I know that all this is going to happen on eBay.com.au but I am not sure if it's going to happen on ebay.co.uk or ebay.com. Any feedback would be highly appreciated.
Here I go....
1. All items listed for sale on eBay.com.au on or after 21 May 2008 must offer PayPal as one of the payment methods.
2. All items appearing on eBay.com.au as of 17 June 2008 must be paid for using one of the following:
1. PayPal
2. Pay on pick up (i.e. paid for when picking up the item)
3. Visa/MasterCard (with transactions processed by PayPal).
No other payment methods will be permitted.
Please note a small number of categories are excluded from these changes. Find out about these exclusions.
And....
Today we�re starting a new initiative to help prevent account takeovers.
From now on the system will be noting the computers members regularly use when buying and selling on eBay. Then in June, we'll begin checking the computer you use to list an item to see if it's one you regularly use.
If you list an item using a different computer (e.g. at a friend's house, in a hotel, at the library) we may make a call to the phone number on your account to confirm that it's really you. We might also prompt you to verify your identity in other ways.
Having your current phone number on file helps eBay protect you. A wrong or outdated phone number will mean we can�t verify your identity. This could delay your ability to list items or respond to your customers.
All this news is the worst thing I have ever heard.....I will be awaiting feedback from all of you....
