Annoying email from ebay telling the don't recognize this device (my computer) after 7 years now

Why does email send me a message every time I log into my account with them telling me afterwards that they don't recognize my device (computer) even though I have have been using it now for over 7 years.  This is very annoying and I understand them sending this message to my email address when I really do use another device to contact them.  But I have been using this home computer now well over 7 years and then still send me this annoying message.  How do I stop this?

eBay has been sending such messages for each sign-in from an unrecognized browser.

 

Unrecognized just means that the browser has no cookies from a previous sign-in to that account, or the IP address does not correspond to a previous sign-in.

 

I do not think there is a way to disable those messages.

 

If you are routinely erasing your browser cookies, or changing your network address, you can expect to receive such messages when you sign in again.

 

Do the browser, location and time correspond to your own sign-in activity? If so, you can ignore the message.

 

Keep in mind that the location may not be precise; it may correspond to the location of the network rather than your actual location. Browser information may not always be available.

 

If you do not recognize the location, time or browser, and you suspect that someone else may have gained access to your account, you may want to change your eBay password.
