Where do I find my ebay sign-in history?

[gwilliamb]

Maybe I'm really dumb, but I can't find any links that lead from my ebay home-page to my ebay sign-in history. I need to see my sign-in history as ebay keeps sending me

"New sign-in activity on your eBay account" messages.

I got one this morning:

"Approximate location

Bromley, Greater London, United Kingdom

(may not match your exact location)"

When I first started getting these, Jan – Feb time, I kept changing my password. Then I noticed they seemed to follow a Windows or Firefox update, so I figured it was about cookies disappearing or system / browser info changing. They all say I logged in from some London borough, which I am nowhere near. But this morning I have not had a recent update install, but the email arrived within seconds of my real log-in, so I am concluding ebay is reporting my own log-ins to me. But I just want to be able to check, e.g. that there is only one log-in and it is the one I just did myself.

I saw in another (old) thread that an ebay user had checked his own sign-in history, so it must be possible, but where is the link? Presumably from somewhere on my home-page, but where?

BTW it is very unfortunate that the ebay help system channels all enquires into a limited set of narrowly defined subjects, and navigating ebay is not one of them!

TIA for any advice!

If you want to check your sign ins go to

My ebay>Account>sign in and security>sign in activity

Pixiesen2012 has given the reason why this happens,looking at my activity it hasn't been correct for 12 months when i changed isp.

Thanks, that is what I needed to know.

it's an ebay glitch, you don't need to trace your sign in history,

the 'bots' are picking up the server used and marking it as a different location to you.

Hi, thanks for your reply. But it only highlights the problem. If ebay have instituted an alert system that almost always gives false alarms people will ingnore them, but presumably sometimes the alarm will be justified. It was pure chance that today I hopped over to me emails while waiting for ebay to load and saw the alert from ebay pop up. Normally it is hours later that I see the email alert. So I really do need to be able to view my log-in history. BTW I do actually often log in to ebay from a different location on a different desktop PC, and via a different ISP, but that genuine change has never triggered an ebay alert, so I have no idea how the ebay alert system is actually triggered, but seemingly not by device or by location.
