DEVICE UNKNOWN
Every time I clone my C drive then use it as the primary to make sure the drive functions , Ebay goes bonkers
when I login, and says device unknown, Now just what are the testing? Everything is the same, with the possibilty of a different SSD.

You must have your account hardware linked. There is an option (I seem to recall it showing up once) where you could link the account to specific computer hardware. Most users aren't even aware of it and I doubt very many activated that level of protection.
Its to prevent someone from taking your drive and slapping it in another computer and accessing the account, since the hardware will change in some fashion. Cloning would do the same thing. Closest article that I see about this:

Add a trusted device
If you see “Remember this device†when you sign in using 2 step verification, you can select the link to add your device as a trusted device. Next time you sign in using the trusted device, you may not be prompted for a 2 step verification, but your account will still be secure.
Keep in mind that if you change your 2 step verification method or remove a trusted device, you’ll need to follow the steps to add the trusted device again. You can add up to 100 trusted devices to your eBay account. You can check your trusted devices at any time by visiting the Security Center.
