Who the bleep is "Lithium Technologies, Inc." and what did I "authorize" them to do for me?

I found this mystery company name in my Site Preferences under "Third-Party Authorizations" heading.

 

Who the bleep are they?  I don't even know who they are, and yet eBay, in its infinite wisdom, decided on its own that I had "authorized" them to do SOMETHING for me... I'm not even sure what, but it almost certainly involves separating me from my money somehow.

 

 

P.S.   According to the info in my Site Preferences, I "authorized" this company to do whatever the bleep it does TODAY.  I have a clear recollection of ALL of my activities during this entire day, and I'm quite compleyely sure that at no time during this day did I give ANY kind of authorization to ANY party to do anything... other than my implicit authorization to eBay to list my item(s) for sale for me.

 

Obviously, somebody is trying to sneak something by me, and I don't like it.  Not one bit.

No one has addressed exactly WHO they are, WHAT they do exactly, and WHY I need them; especially since I never post on ebay. What do they actually do-don't say they powered this board, that tells the average person like me, zip. Do they have access to my information all the time? Do they scolde me if I write a no no comment?  What happens if I reverse the authorizatioin?? Any consequences? To quote Sponge Bob Squarepants, "Catch my drift?".

If you click onthe Lithium logo at the bottom right corner it will take you direct to their own website and you can read all about them. They run these forums for Ebay.

You're posting on the ebay forums right now. Lithium doesn't have access to any of your personal info. Yes, they can remove a post if it's in violation of forum policies, and they can revoke your posting privileges for the same reason.

 

You can reverse the authorization with no consequences at all. Next time you post, it'll be back.

 

Forum policies ...

They need the authorization so they can add your FB score, avatar and link to your listings (if any) to your postings on the boards.
