The default for signing into eBay has changed, now when you sign in you can choose to aff_link("https://announcements.ebay.com/2011/03/stay-signed-in-to-ebay-for-up-to-24-hours/","stay signed into eBay for 24 hours","","UK"); ?> and that’s even if you close your browser in the mean time. If you choose to stay signed in then unless you sign out or change your personal information (like your password) then when you re-open your browser you’ll still be signed in.
Of course if you’re using a shared computer you should make certain that the “Keep me signed in” check box is cleared, but for people like myself that use eBay all day every day it’ll be a welcome change not to have to sign in every time I boot up my laptop.

Wasn’t 24 hours exactly how it was before? The screenshot says “today” but I recall it always saying “24 hours”. Looks to me like they just dropped the mention of the length of time and made a huge announcement about it (like a lot of changes they supposedly make that aren’t really changes).
Surely what is changed is simply the default?
Before you could choose to stay signed in for 24 hours.
Now you can choose not to stay signed in for 24 hours.
Well Chris, if you used Channelgrabber, you wouldn’t need to log in to eBay throughout the day either 😉
