OK i'll admit.. I have no idea what this all means....can someone , in a nut shell, give me a version i can understand?

In a nutshell since over half the ebay buyers use Chrome as a browser ( according to ebay ) if you don't register with a company in Germany and share your ID and password with them so they can check your listings your sales might decrease due to buyers thinking your listing are unsecure.....

I think this impacts any buyer anywhere who uses Google Chrome as their browser. Chrome will never see the light of day on any computer I ever own ... they are just too snoopy for me.

It would be for both international and USA sales. Buyer will be shouwn a this is not a secure site warning if they are using Chrome and a listing has some HTTP in it...

Well that was a bust - tried checking and it doesn't do anything after you register.

pingpong517 · ‎08-23-2017

oh so it is chrome the big issue here... now i ask, what? we have bben using chrome all these years, why now? the world security?

strange.....to me at least.....

This will give any buyer using Chrome a warning of an NON SECURE page..

That is distressing to many people. It's for the use of HTML coding.

So in the post by Sweet Tea or the link here: http://community.ebay.com/t5/Announcements/Stronger-Browser-Security-Standards-Ahead/ba-p/27389922

There's a program/link to test your listings..

If they have HTML, you can edit it out and your buyers will not see the warning on Chrome..

So I'm guessing you are giving that company the same permission to access your listings/account that you do with a third party listing service? Because when I tried it they wanted my User ID and password to eBay.

ping if you cookie cutter list I just checked the newest item you listed and there are no problems with it so this issue will have no bearing on you....
