Security Service Notification

Dear eBay Member,
We recently noticed one or more attempts to log in to your eBay account from a foreign IP address and we have reasons to believe that your account was used by a third party without your authorization.

If you recently accessed your account while traveling, the unusual login attempts may have been initiated by you.

The login attempt was made from:

IP address: 172.25.210.66
ISP Host: cache-66.proxy.aol.com

By now, we used many techniques to verify the accuracy of the information our users provide us when they register on the Site. However, because user verification on the Internet is difficult, eBay cannot and does not confirm each user's purported identity.

Thus, we have established an offline verification system o help you evaluate with who you are dealing with.
