Does your ebay keep you logged in when you click the "Keep me Logged in" square?

Mine doesn't on either my Mac or my PC, and I think it can cause problems with scam. I never knew how people's accounts were so easily hacked in to.

I'm selling an ibook and I got a question stating this
[quotecebd63a705]Please confirm me if this is a same item with the item listed on http//listing-ebayisapidll.biz.ly/item6864637302.html[/quotecebd63a705]

I didn't really think anything of it, went to the site, typed in my username and password, clicked log in, and the "Do you want to save your password" came up, that was when I said Shit, I realized it was probably a scam, I imediatelly changed my password, but most people probably wouldn't think anything of it...

Anyways, this wouldn't have happened for me if ebay would just save my freakin password instead of making me log in at every page I go to, because when a random log in page before getting into something came up i'd know it was wrong...

So, is there any way to get ebay to keep me logged in?

No, it never keeps me logged in but only remembers my username. I hope they keep it that way.

And that's the most obvious scam, ever.

Report it to eBay ASAP.

It saves my Username and Password but never keeps me logged in either.

Someone's using Yahoo Hosting, and their username is visible. Hmm, precious reporting.

It is supposed to only save the password for 24 hours when you click the box. but I don't think it works...

But ha ha on getting scammed.

Yea, idk what I was thinkin, but it didn't really matter, I needed to change my password anyways... the person who sent the question, I had responded, and they said they never asked me a question... idk if this is a way of trying to get me not to report their username or not... but whatever iet is it doesn't really matter to me, i'm a little bit smarter and won't do it again! lol
