When visiting ebay.com.au, my security software alerts me to an access request to my webcam

Why is ebay trying to access people's webcams through their browser? Is it maybe for selling an item so it allows a capture to be taken?

Are you using Chrome? Look at your settings: chrome://settings/content/camera

Hi, thanks for the response. Yes, I'm using Chrome. I'm just wondering why ebay is trying to access my webcam. This happens on all ebay sites I've tried (.com, .com.au, .co.uk, .fr)

I don't know. This has never happened to me (even before I changed my settings to deny access to all websites), but it happened to other people too.
