its a pain in the arse, i click the 'remember me' button every time and it often wants a password.

Use FireFox, it'll remember your passwords for you, much betterer than IE

I was going to say Firefox....but was beaten to it.


the only PW Firefox will not remember for me is YAHOO.

Its not ebay its your computer --- its deleting form and password information.

Not now its popularity is growing, I'm sorry to say, and every time they fix something you have to sort your extensions to see what will still work. I still use it because I like it better than IE but I'm getting as many tracking cookies now as I did under Explorer.

If you don't stay logged in during one session or during the same day, it's your computer settings. However even if your computer is set to keep cookies between sessions, the ebay cookie only lasts for a day. See ebay help:

Staying Signed In

For security purposes, after a period of inactivity or if you close your browser, your session on eBay will expire and you'll need to sign in again.


Have eBay keep you signed in

To save time re-entering your User ID and password, you can have your computer remember this information for one day. Your password will be saved until you sign out, even if you disconnect from the Internet, close your browser, or turn off your computer.
