VPN problem?

Anyone using a VPN have a problem with constantly having to change ebay password? I do and I contacted support which was a waste of time!

Re: VPN problem?

If your VPN is making it appear that you are signing in from different locations or different IP addresses, that can certainly appear suspicious to eBay and may trigger additional security measures.

Re: VPN problem?

Many sites that deal with financials (PayPal, banks, credit cards, some other marketplaces) prohibit the use of VPNs in their terms of service because of the security risks.

 

Constantly having to change your password and reverify credentials is part of the process eBay put in place because of the security risks. I know you don't like the options available, but I don't see eBay changing anything unless it's to outright ban the use of VPNs.

 

I guess you can decide what's more inconvenient to you: constantly change PW and reverify in compliance with eBay security measures, or stop using a VPN to access the site.
