Can I add #3 to that List? That the malicious
activity of which you complain originates not
from eBay and its servers but from a malicious
agent that has installed itself in ("infected") your
computer and/or server. This is a far more likely
explanation, sad to say.

Thanks List for your input on this. At least now I know it's not my
imagination. One thing I did want to note and of which has just started
happening, is that when I go to the EBay Site (not even logging on yet) my
CA virus/spyware/website inspector security pops up with a red stop sign
warning that this is a dangerous site!!!! This has NEVER happened. One of 2
things are going on....1. EBay's server is tracking your comp via
cookies/cache or 2. hackers are tapping into the EBay Servers and thus
following your comps where abouts via EBay. Please be careful, complain to
EBay that it takes forever to load a page and change your password
frequently. I know my meteorite search on EBay has been very very sour for
the last 2 months because of this, so I hope something can be done soon. Be
careful.
Sincerely
