I open a second browser window with eBay and it shows I'm still signed in (with only a Sign Out option), but again I continue to get the login screen even though it shows I'm still signed in.
I have noticed similar issues in the past; prior to the most recent design change, the message in the upper left of the screen on most ebay.com pages would indicate if I was signed in: ("Hi Erich! Sign out") or not (just "Sign in"). But occasionally there was an ambiguous third state: ("Hi Erich! Sign in").
And sometimes the second browser window will let me continue working without signing in, even when I didn't do it again so it's very inconsistent.
Yes, the links or operations that trigger a sign-in request seem almost random; some account-related actions seem to consistently require higher security, which makes a certain amount of sense, but there are other times when actions such as leaving feedback or just navigating between search pages seems to trigger a new sign-in request. Yet backing out of that page can apparently be enough to bypass the sign-in request entirely, and I have been able to go on and submit a bid without actually signing in again.
It's annoying when you're trying to get things done.
Most definitely.
