Constantly have to log back in, Ebay ignores "trusted device"

[d1gardner]

Recently, maybe since about 2 months ago, I am constantly forced to log back in sometimes twice/day, sometimes every couple of days.  I always "tell" the system to "trust my device."  What has changed? Is there anything I can do about it?  I have been an Ebay user for several decades and have never been hassled like this.

Have you changed anything about your network connection in those last two months? Start using a VPN or a hotspot? Add a new privacy program or change your settings with Ghostery or Disconnect?

Have you changed your browser settings to erase cookies upon exit, or started using a cleaner program that periodically erases your browser cookies?

If nothing has changed, you may have an issue with your eBay cookies in your browser. A corrupt or blocked cookie can cause issues. If you do not experience the same issue when using a different browser, try manually erasing just your eBay cookies in the original browser.

Many thnx for the ideas/suggestions.  Nothing has changed.  I knew the VPN could be the culprit and have tried using Ebay with and without the VPN being on...no help when not on.  Interestingly, since posting the issue, I have not been kicked out of Ebay....still logged in.   Assuming it starts acting up, again, I'll delete history and clear cookies.

Is the VPN using a static or dynamic IP-address? The former may work better than the latter.

In any case, good luck!
