eBay SMS Verification
eBay: match the SMS to your request
Before looking for a code for eBay, identify the account and the action that started the request. Keep these two contexts separate:
- seller accounts
Seller permissions and buyer access may differ; confirm which account needs verification.
- return requests
Handle a return through the order page; keep account-access codes separate.
Keep the page that requested the SMS open. Compare the destination number and request time, then enter the matching code on that page. If you start another request, check which action is still waiting for confirmation.
