Here are some things you can do to help protect your eBay account and keep your personal data safe.

It is possible to safely purchase software on EBay. Let's see, Statistics show that around the 6,500,000 people thathave bought minecraft, are safe from viruses, malware etc. And btw, if you don't trust minecraft 100%, then why did you make an account here? That proves that minecraft is safe. EBay gets a cut when your auction sells. After your auction or fixed-price listing ends, eBay charges the Final Value fee to your account in a matter of minutes. Final Value fees on auctions are pretty easy to figure out. If your item sells, you pay eBay 9% of the selling price to a maximum of $50.00.

Change your password regularly

To keep your account secure, we recommend regularly updating your password. Choose a strong password that's difficult for others to guess.

Follow these tips for creating a strong new password:

  • Avoid using personal details such as your name, birth date, or user ID
  • Consider using a phrase (for example, a song lyric or book title)
  • Use numbers and special characters
  • Don't use the same password that you use on other accounts

If you think your eBay account was compromised or hacked, you should change the passwords for both your eBay account and personal email account. Your email password should be different from your eBay password.

Add 2 step verification

To add an extra layer of security to your eBay account, we strongly recommend you enable 2 step verification. Once you've enabled 2 step verification, only you can access your account, even if someone else has obtained your password.

Once you've switched on 2 step verification, each time you sign in to your account you'll be able to confirm your identity via an eBay app push notification or by entering a code we send you via SMS.

Here's how to set up 2 step verification on the eBay app:

  1. Download the latest version of the eBay app.
  2. Sign in to your account.
  3. Go to My eBay and select Settings.
  4. Go to Signing In and then choose 2 Step Verification.
  5. Select Turn on beside eBay Verify.

Here's how to set up 2 step verification by SMS:

  2. Go to your name in the top left-hand corner and choose Account settings from the dropdown menu.

  4. Scroll to the Security information section and select Edit next to 2 Step Verification.
  5. Select Get started next to Get a text message.
  6. Follow the on-screen prompts to add your mobile number.

If you change your mind and want to switch 2 step verification off—or you'd like to change from SMS to app notifications or vice versa—simply follow the steps above to turn off the function. We'll also send you an email to let you know when you've switched 2 step verification on or off.
