By giving you my Ebay password, that means you'll have access to all my account info. For example, you'll be able to use my password to:
1) change my credit/debit card and checking account number and info
2) see the entire history of my account -- with invoices that show all credits, debits & balances
3) view/change my payment plans, monitor buying habits and selling patterns...etc.
These are all highly confidential information. How do I know they will remain private and secure? What means do you have to protect that kind of information from being abused?
Is there a way to give you a password that'll automatically let Ebay know that you're "Auction-Sniping" for a user, but you will not be able to gain access into the user's account? For example, by using a special code like: AS+user password.
That's just a suggestion but I'm genuinely concerned about the above security issues.
