Setting up your eBay Account
To make adding an eBay auction account
as secure as possible, we will never ask you for your username and password.
Instead, to add an eBay account, click on the GET INFO FROM eBay button. When
you click this button, a new browser window will open that will connect you
directly to eBay and prompt you to enter your eBay username and password. When
you enter your eBay login information, click SIGN IN, then click AGREE AND
CONTINUE. eBay will automatically supply a special key to the system to access your
specific eBay preferences, as well as list and manage your auctions.
NOTE : For this feature to work properly, you must have cookies enabled in your
browser.
- After clicking the "Get Info From eBay button", a popup window will open.
- This is eBay asking for your login. Don't be concerned that this step says Laris. Laris is based on the Laris engine and you need to allow the Laris backend to communicate with your eBay account.
