Default eBay 3rd Party Authorisations

OK was just chatting with some bretheren on another forum and it was suggested that i check my Ebay 3rd Party Authorisation settings - as some people have been finding that usernames appear here without your direct permission.

Lo and behold, there was a 3rd party authorised in September 2005.

To check:

My Account -> Preferences -> General Preferences -> Third Party Authorizations (BTW this is Australian eBay, you think they'd get rid of the Z??)

Now, im not sure what exactly someone with the authorisation can do on your behalf... but i dont like the sound of it.

Anyone have anything to add??

Its a marketing thing. Generally it is if you have had dealings with the ebay store before ( not always ) when someone searches through your inventory, it may come up saying. Check out this store ...blank...
nothing to worry about, just revoke it if you arent happy with it
