I'll just let u guys know some 3rd party users are legit tho, I've authorised a company auctiva as a 3rd party user as they are a reputable company that provides free picture gallery and other free selling tools. So don't automatically freak out if u see a 3rd party user, u may have authorised them

I agree, I use Auctiva and Auctionworks a lot as it makes buying and selling that little bit easier (i think some sellers who have the independent check-out system use Auctionworks or ChannelAdvisor so this would be where the third party thing comes in if you request your information to be saved for future transactions)

As I posted before i've been a member since 2001 and have only had a couple of disputes with people not sending me items or the wrong item, etc so I'm sure an account with a high usage like mine would have been hacked by Auctiva or Auctionworks by now

I'd personally be more concerned about the trojan's, etc in popular file sharing programs

These are programs that help you use ebay. If someone hacks your account, they usually change your password so you have trouble accessing, if they are successful the damage is done before you know. They use your account most times, not link a third party.

So most of the changes done in this thread were unnecessary.
