You'd think they'd have some sort of heads up message on the log in page.....but there's nothing.

Thanks for the warning Allen.

That's what I would have thought too. But perhaps they don't want to damage their "Brand" by letting people know. :shock:

Front page news on the TV tonight and still nothing on Ebay's front page....unless you go to bottom of the page and trawl through "announcements".
