Are they changing stuff, seems like in the last week every time I log in it comes back telling me my system isn't allowing cookies. I haven't changed anything but have to go back & lower my privacy allowance to get logged on.

On another note, just sold my second guitar. An older Cleb CC157, it was my first Ovation. Got it about a year ago, made $52.50 even. Made a little on the first one too.
May have to change my screen name ;)

Hmmm, the wife isn't allowing me cookies either. Says I've been having 'too many cookies' lately and she's not buying anymore for awhile.

Definitely something going on.

I've had the same problem as well. It doesn't do it everytime I log in, but when it does I just log in again and it's worked fine the second time...

Even if I tick the box to stay on for today I still have to password going back in.

It's Windows IE that causing this. With Firefox and the "remember password" it works for a day as it should. With IE, it does not. At least that has been my experience for as long as I can remember. A recent update may have triggered it.

Odd, I have no problems with either Chrome or IE.

Ebay's code is pretty sloppy, and they break a lot of the 'rules'. IE is fairly rigid in this respect, while Firefox is more lenient and forgiving.

An example of their attention to detail...
We use Ebay's 'Selling Manager Pro' (only because it's the only way I can get the info I need/want out of ebay). Every day I update and download the month-to-date details. The filename includes the month and year... since the beginning of the year it has said 2010.

Ebay has the worlds largest beta testing group, beyond even Micro$oft. And like M$, you can always tell there's a major upgrade coming... because almost everything is working as it should.

Wally, I discovered a work around a while back. I have a bookmark to "My Ebay". Occasionally I get the cookie error as well. I just click on my bookmark, it takes me back to the login screen and all works normally. I use Firefox for my browser.
