In the forums it's still the original multicolor but I just noticed recently that everywhere else it's all red now. Is this change just some $100,000 a year eBay programmer trying to earn his keep?

Apparently so. An eBay staff member commented on another thread about this; he said it was about holidays. See post #19:

When I first saw the red logo, I thought I had somehow ended up on a spoofed eBay site or that I somehow had downloaded a virus. But in coming to these boards, I now know better.

The logo turns red if there is excess steam pressure in the boiler. Someone should look into that.

Well, ebay isn't going to tell. In another thread, Trinton wrote:
"Hi @dhbookds, visual changes to the logo should not be cause for alarm. This is a common practice for the holiday season and we have made many changes to our logo over the years. Happy holidays!"
Of course, he doesn't say that it has been a common practice for ebay - which it hasn't. And, even google hasn't been doing it nearly as much as in the past.
I'm just waiting for the blinking neon-style signs, both online and while driving through the country-side in New Mexico - right after the Burma-Shave signs.

Ebay could at least have sent everyone an email mentioning it. Heck, they email me everytime I even look at an item I'm not the least bit interested in buying.

Could be the REDE wave !!

Did anyone stop to think about Rememberance Day / Veterans Day November 11. The color of the Poppy is Red.

That's mighty abstract. Especially since eBay shipping labels options don't recognize the holiday even though it's on the official USPS holiday list.

It was changed to reflect the performance of eBay stock.

Must be because soccer club Benfica is red. I have no ideia why red the logo.
