I am having trouble keeping signed in on eBay. I sign in ok (don't sign out), come off line and do some 'housekeeping' - Ad-Aware, SpyBot, CCleaner & Registry Healer, sometimes others but these are the usual ones. Go back on line to eBay to find that I have to sign in again, although I always tick the 'Keep me signed in on ...' box. I can only conclude that something that I am doing is deleting a cookie or similar. Could someone please give me an idea to its name and where I might find it, ('cos I can't) then I can have a go at protecting it from my 'housekeeping' regime. Thanks for any help, John

the keep my signed in only lasts for 24 hours for security reasons. i have to do the same on my system :) MSI KT4AV-L AMD Athlon XP 2800 1Gb Crucial 3200 DDR 160Gb Seagate Barracuda ATI 256Mb 9600XT 16x DL DF DVD/RW 16x DVD ROM 9-in-1 Flash Media FDD

Ebay sets a load of session cookies. CrapCleaner etc. remove those cookies. You will find that Ebay sets a cookie or modifies an existing cookie for EACH of their sites i.e. cars, sports, music etc. etc. I don't know exactly what the cookies are but I avoid a clean until I'm finished with Ebay for the day or whatever as I have also found that cleaning while still signed in causes some other problems on Firefox with javascript.

I suggest you set firefox to remember the userID/password so you only click sign-in when logging in since those two fields will autopopulate. Note*** The above will not keep you signed it but at least it will alleviate the inconvinience of having to type in your userID/password everytime, when logging in. List of lists

That's exactly what I do Sabertooth. The only PITA is that it keeps opening up on the Ebay for Guests page but I can live with that. D4Dog "beauty is in the eye of the beer-holder"
