ebay question - regarding security

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

i went to change my email address in ebay, and it asked me to confirm myself with entering credit card details. Which seems fucking ridiculous.

anyway, this was through the ebay.co.uk front page but the url of the credit card screen is something like arribada.ebay.co.uk.

am i concerned about nothing?

You can go to http://www.networksolutions.com/whois/index.jsp and enter the domain (ebay.co.uk - arribada is the host name of a single computer or drive or area in the domain) to see who owns it. In this case, it's an eBay owned domain.

Won't work if you try to do it with the same card.

They'll have spent thousands on your card by now!

are you sure it was ebay (and not some ebay lookalike page)?

Don't come complaining when you hear a knock on the door.
