Important Password Update
Reset Your Password eBay Inc. Information Site
Keeping Our Buyers and Sellers Safe and Secure on eBay

On Wednesday, we announced that we are asking all eBay users to change
their password. This is because of a cyberattack that compromised our
eBay user database, which contained your encrypted password.

We take security on eBay very seriously, and we want to ensure that you
feel safe and secure buying and selling on eBay. So we think it’s the
right thing to do to have you change your password. And we want to
remind you that it’s a good idea to always use different passwords for
different sites and accounts. If you used your eBay password on other
sites, we are encouraging you to change those passwords, too.

Here’s what we recommend you do the next time you visit eBay:

Take a moment to change your password. This will help further
protect you; it’s always a good practice to periodically update your
password. Millions of eBay users have already updated their passwords.
Remember to always use different passwords on different sites and
accounts. If you haven’t done this yet, take the time to do so.

Meanwhile, our team is committed to making eBay as safe and secure as
possible. We are looking at other ways to strengthen security on eBay.
In the coming days and weeks we may be introducing new security
features. We’ll keep you updated as we do.

Thanks for your support and cooperation. eBay is your marketplace, and
we are committed to keeping it one of the world’s safest places to buy
and sell.
