"Keep me signed in" checkbox on Ebay...

[purbeast0]

am I the only person this does not work for? it does not work for me at home on my laptop running OSX or desktop running Windoes 7, nor does it work on my work PC running linux.

sometimes it will work if I go back like an hour or so later, but it NEVER EVER will remember me the following day. it's been this way since i can remember.

does this happen to everyone else or wtf am i doing wrong?

EDIT:

wrong forum, hopefully a mod can move it to OT!

It's only for 24 hours, which is annoying.

oh it is? why the hell would they even have that checkbox there then? and why doesn't it say that?

It used to say "for the day" or something like that.

On a related note, why does the login for Anandtech article commenting never remember me?

Pffft that shit has NEVER once kept me logged in. I think I remember it saying 24 hours though.

24 hours is practically worthless unless you're on eBay all day and following some auction. I check out eBay once a week or so and it's annoying to re-sign in. I suppose security is good. I have yet to have my security compromised this way (knock on wood), but I suppose the cries of the idiots who get their passwords phished and Facebook accounts hacked everyday because they let anyone onto their system and click on any link prevailed.
