How do I keep my account secure?

13 May 2026 37 views Verification Identity Support

Accounts are rarely broken into. They are usually handed over, by someone who thought they were talking to support.

The four habits

Step 1: Sign in only through eBuy's own pages. Check the address before you type a password.
Step 2: Never share an OTP, a reset link, or a verification code with anyone, whoever they say they are.
Step 3: Verify your email and keep your phone number current, so a reset can actually reach you.
Step 4: Sign out on shared devices, or use the sign-out-everywhere option in your profile.

What an attack looks like

  • A call or message asking you to confirm a code "for security"
  • A login page that looks right but sits on a slightly wrong address
  • A courier or refund link that asks you to sign in again
  • Someone claiming to be support who needs your password to "fix" something

Contact support if

  • You get a password reset you did not ask for
  • You see activity on your account you do not recognise
  • You think you gave a code to someone you should not have
eBuy support will never ask for your OTP, your password, or your full bank details, in chat, email, or on a call. Nobody legitimate needs them.
