Should you use a different password on all ebay accounts ?

No doubt a bit of a dumb question to ask, but, should you use different passwords on eBay accounts ? Or will the password not make any difference.....

You should use unique passwords, if you get hacked then you're screwed

Sorry I was not completely clear with my question.

I was asking in regard to eBay linking accounts ?

I'm not sure if Ebay staff have access to passwords, but if they do and are putting two similar accounts under the microscope then they could see they are same. Then again, if they are studying two accounts for similarities then there are many other ways in which they can link two accounts, so maybe not an issue.

I have always used unique passwords, but to each their own

i would say use different passwords. for your own safety too.

They don't link by passwords as they are all hashed and salted.
