Question
This am when trying to sign in to ebay I get the
"Security Alert
You are about to be redirected to a to a connection that is not secure
The information you are about sending to the current site may be retransmitted to a nonsecure site, Do you wisht to contine?"
I've never had that pop up at ebay before.
This is a from following my bookmark that I always use to go to ebay. Is there a problem this am.
Answer
They have been playing with the security aspect, and you are now signing in "securely" (see the button?) but you will then immediately be transferred to a "non-secure" page, your My eBay page, or some other...
That is what the pop-up box is telling you, or at least that's what the one I see is telling me.
It is another new twist, it may stay or it may be an error. (It will stay, see below.) This is Friday morning and they love to screw around with the code of Thursday nights.
PS. There was an announcement, and it does predict just what we are seeing.

PPS. The three pages of the eBay site that I have visited to check this out, the Sign-In page, My eBay page, and the Announcement page have each taken a long, long time to load. They damn well better fix that aspect of it!

***Coming soon: eBay Sign-In Upgrade***
Date: 09/23/04 Time: 11:52:37 AM PDT
In the next few days, we will be making several changes to the backend architecture of Sign-In to accommodate eBay’s growth. Once the changes have been made, our sign-in process will only support Secure Sign In (SSL).
The actual way that members sign in to eBay will not change. However, as part of the new architecture which supports only SSL Secure Sign In, some members may see browser alert pop ups during the sign-in process notifying them when they enter or leave SSL secure pages on eBay. These are standard Internet Explorer messages, and they can be turned off by selecting the “In the future, do not show this warning” check box.
Regards,
eBay

I too am experiencing incredibly long load times to get to myeBay and other pages too. What a pain!
I've been getting that not secure site warning when I log into eBay for several weeks now at least

Brings up a question.......if it's turned off will it affect all sites or only be applicable to that one?
Another question....I assume it will only happen the one time ( visit) that you go from sign-in to elsewhere?
Oh god!! Not the 500 times the sign-in box comes up for this that and the other thing, I hope!!
I believe I leave that one working as a reminder to myself.

Thanks
I went to the other computer and it didn't do it.
The really wierd part is I clicked the NO and then went back to the home page. I am logged in
So I logged out, went to sign in, got the message, said NO again went back to home page and yep you guessed it, I'm logged in. So looks like ebay isn't taking no for an answer this morning.
Answer
My homepage is set to eBay's homepage. When I clicked to go to "MyeBay", I got the new secure signin page and I'm very concerned/perplexed over what happened when I logged in a few minutes ago....
Usually I type the first letter of my ID in the box and every name I've ever entered starting with that letter shows up in a dropdown style box (I use Mozilla Firefox), I click my ID and enter my password.
This morning when I typed the first letter - ONLY my eBay ID showed up and then when I clicked in the password box, my password was automatically entered.
I know Mozilla can do this automatically, but I have told it to NEVER save my password at this site and it never has. Nothing has been changed on my browser settings since I shut the computer off last night and it was working normally then.
When I tried it using IE it didn't do it.
Has anybody else using Mozilla run into this today?

I don't have that option on the popup - so looks like it'll be one more step to get to our My EBay pages every time we go in *BOO HISS*

All sites.
Answer
If you don't want to keep getting the browser alert popup, go to the ADVANCED section of INTERNET OPTIONS in your browser and under the Security section UNCHECK "warn if changing between secure and nonsecure mode". I've always had this option unchecked because it really isn't necessary since you can see the secure lock icon in your bottom toolbar.
The signin pages are loading extremely slow right now. I hope they fix this ASAP.
