·2 years agoI sometimes get assigned a dodgy IP that some sites object to. When that happens I just turn off the router for half an hour. That usually fixes it with a different IP.
It's not unusual to find yourself in a different "country". It just means a site is not using an up to date list of IP locations.

·2 years agoI have seen the same location. Changed password.
Recurred months later with the same location.
I suspect it is being generated as a result of some Ebay activity.
My system is regularly scanned for malware, has all updates.
And Experian is monitoring my email address for compromises.

·2 years agoSunnyvale CA is 11 miles from San Jose CA, where ebay corporate is; maybe that is where their 'emails' come from or??

·2 years agoMaybe your Internet Provider is using a block of IP addresses and assigns you one when you come online, that may not be your exact location.
I notice this a lot when shopping online that I am constantly defaulting to a city 200 miles away. I must change the store locator to my zip code to get the local information. Sometime this stays with the computer and sometimes I must reenter the zip code each time.

·2 years agoNot much detail. Where/how are you getting these messages? Are they coming through eBay or are you getting them in e-mail? Are you on a laptop/desktop or are you using the APP? Can you cut and paste a copy of the exact message you are getting?

·2 years agoWhenever I login with a different device, I instantly get an email from eBay notifying me of the login.
If it was not me, I would change the password and research further.
You don't happen to be using a VPN? That might cause consistent flags to be thrown at you by the eBay bots.
