Be careful of these. You click on an auction from a list and you're asked to sign in again. It's alright - you're in eBay.......but you're not. :eek:
Auction 4584980307 (just reported so hopefully will be gone soon) is an example. The link to the spoof site is embedded in a form which is auto-submitted by some JavaScript.

That's something that could catch nearly anyone off-guard. I guess all you can do to protect yourself against that kind of thing is always sign in at the start of your session, then if you get asked to sign in again, your user id should automatically be filled in for you.0
