In late January, we will no longer support the ability for members to sign in to eBay through Microsoft Passport. This means that members currently using this service will have to sign in through eBay directly. Once this takes place, the Microsoft Passport button that is currently displayed on Sign In pages will be replaced with links to a page with more information, including Help in case you cannot remember your User ID or password.

As part of this change, we will also discontinue sending eBay Notifications through Microsoft .NET alerts. If you would like to keep receiving eBay alerts on your wireless phone or desktop, we recommend using the following methods:

eBay Wireless Alerts - You can sign up to receive eBay alerts on your mobile phone, pager or PDA when you have won an item, or you are no longer the high bidder. To sign up for this free service:
Click on My eBay at the top of almost any eBay page.
Click on eBay Preferences, under the My Account section on the left-hand side.
Click on the “View/Change” link to the right of Notification Preferences.
Click the “Add or change notification services” link, and then “Subscribe” next to eBay Wireless Email

eBay Toolbar - You can download eBay Toolbar if you would like to receive eBay alerts on your desktop for when an item you are watching or bidding on is about to end, or when you are no longer the high bidder for an item. To download the free Toolbar, go to www.ebay.com/toolbar.

Certified eBay Solutions - You can browse through the products and services provided by eBay and third-party developers in the eBay Solutions Directory available at http://solutions.ebay.com. Solutions for listing monitoring and wireless devices are currently available. The solution details page for each application contains a description and pricing details.

Regards,
eBay
