Protecting your account

Whether you've simply forgotten your password and need to reset it, or want to make a change for security reasons, it's easy to change your eBay password. To protect your account though, we'll always first ask you to confirm your identity using email or text.

After you've registered with eBay, you should sign in to your account whenever you're looking to buy and sell. Signing in gives you a more personalized shopping experience. It also gives you access to My eBay, where you can keep track of all your buying and selling activities, items you've saved to your watch list, and your favorite sellers and searches.
