No satellite stuff for the moment (aside from a 43cm minidish that was on the house already), Samsung SyncMaster T27B550 Smart TV & Monitor, and a few computers...

I just had a look myself, and six authorisations too, all of which appear to be ebay themselves...

I also have a few ..... the dates all coincide with purchases.

But there's no pattern to it and most purchases don't end up creating whatever these really are.

Could be they're a bit like Cookies and set by default (ie The opt-out wasn't obvious) .... I have noticed that, occasionally, Sellers thank me for my purchase and welcome me to the Account they've kindly set up on my behalf without my prior knowledge or permission.

Further ..... plenty of info about these via Google (Other Search Engines are available).

Bottom line .... not terribly important.

They will come back, if you check again in a day or three ..... If my reading from the Interweb is right!
