A password chosen by you shall be difficult, it
shall best consist of small and capital letters and numbers. Change it
at least every 30 days, then you’ll avoid a possibility of hacking your
account.
It is also very important to give such a verification question which only you will know the answer to. If you are not sure if it is difficult enough, change it.
Look out on false e-mail messages which look as if they were sent from eBay. Absolutely
don’t click on any links sent in the e-mail. In such a way thieves want
to swindle from you information on the account or credit card data. All false e-mails report immediately to eBay.
Once in a while log into your account and check if anybody hasn’t changed there anything.
Another
important issue is that you should have on your computer actual
antivirus software installed. Because computer viruses can record what
you at the moment type on your keyboard and
at the same time convey any of your data and passwords to accounts.
Also spying programs can be downloaded onto your computer without your
knowledge and register any information about you. Antiviruses protect
your computer from the flow of information to and from your computer.
If
you log into your account from other computer eBay immediately will
request from you giving additional data in order to check identity. It
can be the address, phone or answer to your secret question.
