In April we announced that we're noting the computers you normally use to buy and sell on eBay.

We've now started blocking sellers who are listing from a computer they don't normally use. If you're listing from a different computer (e.g. at a friend's house, at the library), we'll ask you for some additional verification to make sure it's really you listing the item.

This helps us protect your account and all buyers and sellers from fraudulent unauthorised activity. For more details please check our FAQ.

Thank you for your support as we work to make eBay a safer and more secure place to buy and sell.

Regards,

The eBay Team

**Correction to retirement date for old Search - it will be retired at the start of March.

We'd like to let you know about our plans for the first quarter of 2009, including:

Duplicate listings policy
Retirement of old search
My eBay update
Item details page update
Postage & packaging policy

Changes to the duplicate listings policy
 
From 27th January 2009, we'll be making some changes to the duplicate listings policy. You'll still be allowed up to 15 duplicate listings for identical items. However, only one of these can be a Buy It Now listing.
                                       
Find out about amendments to the duplicate listings policy at http://pages.ebay.co.uk/businesscentre/newsletter/#2

Retirement of old search system
 
Earlier this year we introduced a new search system. A small percentage of users chose to stick with the old system using an opt-out link. At the start of March, we're retiring the old search completely, so any users who opted out of the new search will be automatically redirected to the new search system.

My eBay update
 
We've been gathering feedback on the new My eBay design and have been making improvements. On 20th January 2009, we’ll retire the current My eBay design and switch to the new one.

If you'd previously opted out of the My eBay test, please opt in and try the new version. We think you'll like it.

Learn more at http://pages.ebay.co.uk/businesscentre/newsletter/#4

Item details page update
 
We're currently testing the new version of the item details page (also known as the ‘view item page’). Sellers can see how the new item details page looks for their listing by using the link at the top right of their current item details page.

Find out about the new item details page at  http://pages.ebay.co.uk/businesscentre/newsletter/#5

Reminder - postage & packaging policy changes
 
From 27th January 2009, we'll be making changes to our postage and packaging (P&P) policy on eBay.co.uk.

To coincide with the introduction of free DVD P&P, we'll be running a promotion offering a 25% discount on the Final Value Fee on all DVD sales.
