To help protect your account, we limit the number of items purchased by a single account at any one time. This buying limit is temporary. You can come back soon and buy more items. Protect your eBay account: eBay will never ask you to enter your personal information – such as credit card number or password – in an email. Learn more about safe trading in our Safety Centre.

Buying on eBay is simple, but because buyer protection, like everything else on eBay, is bot-driven with strict timeframes, you can best protect yourself by knowing how all of that works.
