See http://avocado.dhs.org/ebpd/ for details, including an >ebay password sniffer. I noticed that ebay has a link on their Sign In feature page to sign in via SSL. It's not the most obvious link. An easy way to get there: - when prompted for your id/password, below the box, click the Sign In link - when prompted again for your id/password, below the box, click the 'here' link Of course, take note of the cookie that they will place on your computer. You'll have to close your browser, or it will expire in 40 minutes of inactivity, whichever comes first, according to the web page. Couple this with the 'my ebay' preferences as to what activities you want your password remembered, one might only have to enter their password once, during the SSL session where the cookie gets set.
