eBay: Staying Signed In

[andychrist]

When signing in on eBay (via My eBay) there is a checkbox option: Keep me signed in on this computer unless I sign out. But my sessions still seem to time out randomly; sometimes even after a restart I am still signed in, other times I have to sign back in after going offsite quite briefly. My username is usually though not always displayed, and the same behavior is manifested regardless of browser. Remember having had similar problems storing banking info until financial institutions and Safari became more compatible, so:

Is this a standard little eBay snafu, a problem specific to Mac with eBay, or just something going on with my antiquated if upgraded BondiMac running 10.3.9? If the latter, is there any specific maintenance routine that might fix the problem?

ThanX in advance.

Hi,
I have the same problem running a G5 I Sight i mac (2 wks old), and a G4 Powerbook, however when using a PC at college, the problem dissapears and I usually find myself signed in, so it would appear to be something about the Macs that doesn't agree with the E bay system.

Thanks Stu, I was afraid that was the case. Oh well, maybe someday the problem will get ironed out.

And hey, welcome to the forums!
