The above link was a great tool to stay safe on Ebay. I used it all the time to make sure my account is not signed in on any unknown devices & to make sure any orphaned sessions were signed out. Today I noticed it's not working. I hope this is just temporary or maybe a new link is coming.

I'll second that. It's redirecting to page not found.

Please can anyone from Ebay respond to this. I count on this link to make sure I know where I' m signed in and to sign out of any orphaned sessions. Last year the site was loading very slow for me. Then I found this link on the boards and found I had dozens of still open sessions slowing me down. I always thought sessions timed out on their own & was surprised to find they did not, this link was a life saver, so why is it gone?

This is an important function, and either needs to be restored or an explanation provided for why it has been removed (if it has).
Agree 100% why would they ever take this away !!
Why oh Why ?
Boy did I ever use this between Mobile, Laptop , Desk top .

Hi @berserkerplanet, I've looked into this can can confirm that this tool is no longer available. We are always working to improve the resources available to you on the site and security is a top priority for us, so keep an eye out for enhancements in the future. In the meantime, I will be sure to pass along the feedback from this thread to the appropriate teams!

This is an important tool I use frequently. I just don't understand some of the things that get removed around here that people actually use. (the seller DSR reports come to mind)
It needs to be restored.

Why would they ever remove a saftey to ebay members like this without having a replacement in place?
Why & how is this working to improve my security by removing a tool well used tool

I think that when we use that tool to delete 'orphan' sessions, we may delete/erase important info that eBay needs to track suspect activity on some accounts.
Hints have been around that eBay may give us another way to do this, sometime.

So, how would one go about remotely signing out of a lost device to prevent fraudulent use?
Great, change passwords again/early.
I won't go off topic here and comment about how downhill things have been going steadily for the past two decades--Oooops.

LMAO it is a tool we though should be removed. After all why would we want users to stay signed on to make more purchases. OR if they need to to force a sign off on computers they may have used in the past to prevent others from accessing their account. Why not go ahead and force users to change their password every time they log on. Dont do that it was just irony. why not change all fonts to wing ding by default.
