When this error happens I usually have log back into community then go to my community profile and scroll down to drafts to pull up my response that was typed at the moment I got logged out of the community. Just a little while ago I got the error and was signed out. When I went to my community profile just above the draft section I noticed something really weird in the Private statistics section. At the end of this section it shows the browsers used to access community. In this section there were 5 different browsers listed. Out of the 5 actually only have 2 of the browsers Chrome and Edge. I mainly use Chrome for international shipping labels and do not use it to access community to often. It would appear that for some reason someone has been going into my account on the community forums and using browsers other than the browser I use. I spoke with a ebay rep and she said that they would only be using chrome to access a users account.
Has any other user that has gotten the authentication error actually checked and looked at this information. I recently seen a blue actually acknowledge the issue but the rep said they can not figure out what is causing the problem. For a long time I have thought the issue seamed like admins on eBay's end accessing the profile and bumping users out of their account. Although since these browsers listed are those that a eBay support rep would use this does seam like it could be a bigger security issue.
I took a screen shot of the browsers ebay says I have used to access the forum. I used red boxes to highlight the browsers I do not use and green to highlight the 2 browsers I actually have however chrome is not a browser I would normally use for the forums but there could be a possibility that I used chrome as I do not know how long this data is saved for.
