Capta - Why did eBay institute this S

[rolex-2000]

This is completely unjustified, click how many of this and that does nothing to protect security etc. Click I am not a robot is pathetic, the username and password should be enough, well how about the capta code or send a code to your mobile. Thinking about dumping eBay. get rid of the stupid capta pictures. How dare you ebay

There's plenty of other organisations using "capta" for security - are you going to dump all them as well ??

[sandypebbles]

Indeed

How very dare eBay have the same security function in place dozens upon dozens of other websites do

Perhaps contact eBay and tell them off

They are not going to see your complaint about extra security here

Just other members

I am sure most of whom would rather have capta (sic) than a hacker on their account

It says that it will do this occasionally. Well every time i log on there is the damn Capta pictures. If eBay gets away with this S, they will do 10 pick the snakes, sheep, crocodiles etc. Two is bad and doing it every time. I have had enough I will enter the text from my phone

Perhaps your browser if clearing it's history after every session, in which case "capta" will come up every time you log in. I very rarely get the "capta" come up when I log in.

I was thinking the same...

Or maybe the OP is using an incognito browser?

My second Ebay account asks for the Captcha images each time I log on, but I think it has to do with the fact that I'm using another window of the same browser, but in incognito mode. It's the only way I can stay logged into both accounts on the same browser.

Are you running 2 accounts?

What happens if you log on to your account in a different browser?

[rolex-2000]

no i am not, i have a vpn an only yesterday did this start - it is annoying and an intrusion - it does not prove it is me. total **bleep** - so sick and tired of this **bleep** google chrome worse when i open any search i get capta
