    Yup, my pc never remembers me but youll notice your user name is in the sign in form... double click your sign in name and double click the password field and it will auto fill it.

    Saves a few seconds typing in your password anyway.

    I also have this problem, but I use AOL- so say no more!

  • This might help

    Go to 'my ebay' then 'preferences' the near the bottom of the page is 'general preferences' then 'keep me signed in on this computer' click 'apply'

    Personally I don't think it is advisable to have yourself signed in constantly. Not very secure especially if you have kids with itchy trigger fingers...lol

    I've had my account ebay hijacked so I'd rather have it so that I have to sign in every time. It's much safer.

    certain anti-spyware programs will automatically delete the cookies that remember your details, hence why is doesn't remember you.
