Is there any reason not to keep signed in on my computer? I really can't figure out the details of this feature from the eBay explanation.
Does this enable one to go right to the "My eBay" page while bypassing the sign-in page? What if someone else goes to the address of your sign-in page (from a different computer) with nefarious intent?
I'm sick of typing in my eBay password, dammit. Why doesn't the password just fill itself in, like it does for other sites that require a password? This never happens with IE. If I'm using Mozilla Firebird as my browser, sometimes the password is automatically entered.

I may be at a friends house and would like to check on something (and maybe bid more) so I sign in on my account
Some people use computers at librarys or schools - you would not want to keep signed in
What changes in the way I access eBay, if I select Keep me signed in on this computer unless I sign out?
It only recognizes your computer, just because you are signed in doesn't mean that anybody else can do your business under your account from any other computer. If you don't have a firewall to block people from accessing your computer most anybody can ping you and access your computer and read your cookie and get your log in info along with anything else you have on your computer. Yeah that's right, ANYTHING on your computer.
