[KnownUsernameField] Fix for the special case "eBay India"

[contribucious]

Spotted a special case, that of eBay India.

 

As a reminder, www.ebay.in is the only one in the list — available in the footer of www.ebay.com — with www.ebay.se to have their domain name redirecting to ebay.com.

But unlike the .se where the signin.ebay.se does not exist or no longer exists, the .in still has it: signin.ebay.in. With a message indicating this transition period, though.

↪️ Although inaccessible from the home page because now redirected to in.ebay.com (which uses signin.ebay.com).

Alternative URL:

To buy and sell on www.ebay.com or other eBay sites internationally, existing users can login using their credentials or new users can register an eBay account on ebay.in. Kindly note you can no longer buy or sell on eBay.in.

 

Action taken

➡️ Added signin.ebay.in.

💡 Value userid checked, both in mobile and desktop mode.

[BONUS] About eBay Sweden

Just for information, the other to have its domain name redirecting to ebay.com, namely www.ebay.se, had a life of its own in the past. Long ago.

↪️ Although ... "semi-autonomous" because its login link (www.eim.ebay.se/?signin=1&[…]) redirected to a page in the signin.ebay.co.uk FQDN.

💡 According to archive.org, this was the case until the end of 2013.
From 2014, www.ebay.se became a redirect to www.ebay.com.
