The extension appears to be from eBay's official domain (anywhere.ebay.com), which is a legitimate and well-established e-commerce platform. With 100,000 users and a solid 4.0-star rating from 889 reviews, it demonstrates reasonable user adoption and satisfaction. The official eBay branding adds credibility to the extension.
The primary concern is the use of Manifest Version 2, which lacks the enhanced security protections of Manifest V3. While the notifications permission is relatively benign for an eBay extension (likely used for auction updates, deal alerts, or purchase confirmations), the older manifest version creates potential security vulnerabilities. The absence of detailed developer information and last updated date makes it difficult to assess maintenance and support status.
This extension presents moderate risk due to outdated security standards rather than malicious intent. Users should monitor for updates that migrate to Manifest V3. Consider checking eBay's official website or app store for newer versions of their browser extension. If you frequently use eBay services and find the notifications valuable, the risk may be acceptable given the official source. However, users concerned about security should consider using eBay's website directly or wait for a Manifest V3 update before installing.
