Re: [SWCollect] eBay's Latest

While ebay and paypal are the root of all evil, its possible its also 
to prevent bots from harvesting user info for targeted spam.  Most ebay 
users use their exact e-mail address as their username.  Something else 
I noticed is sometimes I have a hard time logging in.  It has told me 
more than once that my user ID doesn't exist.

to log in, I sure have to do now, they must have changed this very

Has anyone else noticed this?  I just went to do a completed-auctions 
search
on eBay, and it made me sign in first!  There's a page that now says 
you
have to be registered with eBay to do a completed search.  It's only a
matter of time before they start charging for this.
