eBay Toolbar also comes with Account Guard, a new feature that helps you protect your eBay account information. Account Guard warns you when you're on a potentially fraudulent (spoof) Web site. It also lets you report such sites to eBay. If eBay verifies that a Web site is fraudulent, the information will automatically be distributed to all other eBay Toolbar members, warning them about the spoof Web site. ccount Guard protects your eBay account information These key Account Guard features help protect your eBay account information: 1. Site Indicator changes color to indicate verified or potential spoof sites Located prominently on the toolbar, the Site Indicator changes color to indicate whether you're on a verified site or a potential spoof site. The Site Indicator turns: * Green if you are on a verified eBay or PayPal Web site * Red if you are on a potential spoof site, and * Gray if you are visiting an unidentified Web site. Note: Gray will be the most frequent indication when you are not on eBay or PayPal Web site. 2. eBay Password Protection This feature warns you when you are entering your eBay password into an unverified site even if it looks like eBay or PayPal. This function will block your eBay password from being submitted to the Web site - displaying an educational message about password protection - unless you affirm that you want to use your eBay password on that site. 3. Report a Spoof Site If you suspect that you are on a fraudulent (spoof) eBay or PayPal Web site, Account Guard enables you to report the site to eBay. If eBay verifies that a Web site is fraudulent, the information will automatically be distributed to all other eBay Toolbar members, warning them about the spoof Web site. To report a site, click the Account Guard icon and select "Report this as a Suspicious Site" from the drop down menu. http://pages.ebay.com/help/confidence/account-guard.html
