Also, in that case, there is no need to worry as eBay allows its users to reset or change the password whenever they want. Changing your password from time to time make your account even more secure. Here, in this article, we will discuss how to reset or change eBay Account Password.
How to Reset eBay Account Password?
If you forgot or lost your eBay password, you can easily reset it from your PC or mobile. Follow the steps given below to do so:
- First of all, make sure that you have access either to your registered number or your registered email ID to move further otherwise you won’t be able to reset your eBay password.
- Now, go to the eBay sign in page and click on the “Reset Your Password” option.
- Then, you will be asked for your registered email ID or your eBay username. You can type in either of those details.
