I do not even have a credit card with the last four numbers listed!

Place or Update Credit Card on File

Dear Member,

During our regularly schedule account maintenance and verification we have detected a slight error in your billing information on file with eBay. This might be due to either following reasons:

- A recent change in your personal information (i.e. change of address)

- Submitting invalid information during the initial sign up process.

- An inability to accurately verify your selected option of payment due an internal error within

our processors.

Your credit card on file with eBay
