Welcome to eBay, Remember to Sign Out

Welcome to eBay! Remember to sign out.

"Congratulations," reads the page that you'll now see on the eBay website, "you can now bid and buy." You're now a full-fledged eBay member, ready to participate in the world's largest buying and selling community.

Before you begin buying or selling, you should survey the rest of the information in Getting Started, in particular the documents in Rules and Fees. To really maximize your experience, consider becoming familiar with the information in Buying Effectively, Selling Effectively, and Searching Effectively as well.

Remember to Sign Out

When you're done using eBay for the moment, be sure click on the "Sign out" link near the top of any eBay page. Always sign out when you're finished using the eBay website, to ensure that no one else can use your account to buy and sell in your absence.

You can sign back in again whenever want to use the eBay website by visiting eBay.com and clicking on the "Sign in" link near the top of the page, then entering your eBay User ID and password when asked to do so.

Welcome to eBay!
