Extra log in request

[gordonbleedingbennett4952]

I am trying to find out why when I am already logged in do I need to log in again to view my Personal information?

It's just an extra layer of security. Seeing personal information and the ability to change that important information is kept safer than everywhere else. Most people don't access their personal information very often so when anyone does, that extra step of logging in again is just for safety. I've seen this on other sites also.

It is NOT an extra login request, it is a verification of your identity to prevent fraud and account theft.

The most BASIC of online shopping is logging out and logging in to your account regularly to protect your identity.

After you’ve registered with eBay, you should sign in to your account whenever you’re looking to buy, sell, or just browse. Once you’re signed in, we can personalize your shopping experience and show you items you might like based on your interests.
