# eBay login URL: the real address > eBay's real sign-in page is on signin.ebay.com. How to tell a fake eBay link from the real one, with examples from 34 live phishing URLs. Canonical: https://www.phishclean.com/official-domains/ebay Last updated: 2026-11-09 eBay's real sign-in page is on signin.ebay.com. If a link takes you anywhere else and asks for your eBay password, close it. We opened each address below on 9 November 2026. signin.ebay.com eBay accounts (country sites such as ebay.co.uk use their own signin. address) ## Domains eBay uses Not a complete list. Each address below can have subdomains in front of it (`www.`, `login.`), and they are still eBay's. - `ebay.com` - `ebay.co.uk` - `ebay.de` - `ebay.com.au` - `ebay.ca` ## How to read the address Look at the part between `https://` and the first single `/`. Read it from the right. The real thing ends in `ebay.com` or another domain listed below, with nothing but a dot before it. - `https://login.ebay.com/…` is eBay: it ends in `.ebay.com`. - `https://ebay.com.account-check.example/…` is not: it ends in `account-check.example`, and eBay's name at the front is decoration. - `https://ebay-secure-login.example/…` is not: a hyphen makes a different domain, and anyone can register one. Everything after the first `/` is chosen by whoever made the page, so `…/ebay.com/signin` in the path proves nothing. ## What fake eBay pages looked like On 5 November 2026, PhishTank listed 34 live, verified phishing URLs that its volunteers labelled eBay. - **94.1%** used HTTPS. The padlock means the connection is encrypted, not that the site is eBay. - **0%** had "ebay" in the hostname. Most fakes give no such clue, so the absence of eBay's name doesn't make a link safe either. - **67.6%** sat on services anyone can sign up to, such as website builders, file sharing and QR-code links, rather than on a domain the attacker registered. ## Report a fake eBay email or page Forward the email as an attachment to spoof@ebay.com. Source: [eBay: Recognising phishing phone calls and emails](https://www.ebay.com/help/account/messages/messages?id=4195), checked 9 November 2026. ## Lures to watch for - eBay says an address that contains "ebay" but isn't an official eBay domain is a sign of a phishing site. - Buyer and seller questions arrive in eBay's own Messages. If an email asks you to pay or ship outside eBay, check Messages on ebay.com first. Not sure about a link? Paste it into the [free link checker](https://www.phishclean.com/check-link). It reads the address only and doesn't open the page. The [PhishClean browser extension](https://www.phishclean.com/) also checks each page you open for signs of a fake sign-in form. ## Questions ### What is eBay's official login URL? signin.ebay.com (eBay accounts (country sites such as ebay.co.uk use their own signin. address)).
