I am surprised that ebay has not tightened up on their seciurity network to prevent anyone from obtaining your personal ebay password. Could they develop a software that would automatically delete the cookies that house the password in your computer or form their website? I am sure something could be done, but then again it may cost ebay lots of money to invest in such a precaution. I would hate to see them dip into their millions of dollars in revenues and profits to help their fellow customers.
