Hi everyone...This is Gui Bastos with eBay's Seller Tools team. By now you've
hopefully read John Canfield's recent announcement about how we're keeping the
site safe through our Trusted
Selling with Identity Confirmation initiative. With the latest Turbo Lister
Update, we're bringing a similar measure of safety to Turbo Lister, called "authentication
and authorization." Simply put, it provides more effective security against
unauthorized use of your Turbo Lister account.
How authentication and authorization works
The first time you connect to the eBay site with Turbo Lister 6.5 or higher,
you'll be asked to sign in and verify your User ID and password (authentication).
In the next step (authorization), you'll get the appropriate privileges to perform
your Turbo Lister activities. During this process, we'll give your computer
an encrypted security code that only eBay can read, which will be valid for
18 months.
You won't have to go through this process again for 18 months, unless you add
a new user to your Turbo Lister subscription, or you uninstall and reinstall
Turbo Lister on your computer. This update is optional, as always, but in the
interest of making the overall eBay marketplace safer, this process will become
mandatory later this year (we'll keep you posted).
For more information about authentication and authorization, please visit our
Frequently Asked Questions
page.
Sincerely,
Gui Bastos
Seller Tools team
