Dear eBay Customer,
TKO Notice: Section 9: Account activation
This is an important message you have to read immediately after you get it. In the past 3 months, hackers tried to steal our users accounts with trivial procedures and use them for fraud. We worked with the FBI to ensure that those evil persons were caught. Unfortunately,some of the information in our system was compromised. Because of that, all users must log in and check if nothing in their accounts was modified. With this occasion we will log all ip addresses when users log in to eBay and store them in a database. When an unknown ip address is trying to login into your account, we will know that it's not you, and start the legal procedures.
Please click this link to login to eBay. Please note that after you click this link, only the user and password and IP address will be logged, and you will be redirected to the main eBay page. If you want to use the services at eBay you have to login again from the home page.
