be cearful of them e-mails that ask you to log in and confirm your account details. NEVER log in anywhere from an e-mail, always go to the site. even if the e-mail re-directs you, it doesnt mean your on the site it looks like.

its piss easy to set up and do, just never log in off e-mails and keep your details safe !!!

E-Bay usually tells you to not use names and add numbers into your password to help with security..
