I had been checking this board, and then checked Paypal to see if I had any payments without notifications, and it went straight through without me signing in. That has never happened before, and I am a bit concerned.

Maybe it was a chched page on your PC if it happens again hold control key down and hit refresh at top of IE if yoou are using that to browse will force a fresh page. BUT that should not happen if your browser setting are set NOT to cache Secure pages. (I think- not sure absolutely it is this setting in internet options / advanced/ under Security/ DO NOT SAVE ENCRYPTED PAGES TO DISK) and always log out of paypal to be on safe side.
I have never had that happen so don't know what to tell you except is all your money there and change your password now, ASAP if not sooner.

Are you sure that the website was really PayPal and not some spoof site masquerading as the 'real' PayPal.com? (This only applies to Windows-based OSs with MSIE as the browser of choice.)

Thanks sparkz, it worked when I deleted the cookies.
Yes agitprop, it was definitely Paypal. I have it saved on favorites. I tried it 3 times, and it went straight through to my account. I may complain about the number of times I have to sign in on eBay, but Paypal is one I always expect to sign in on.

I just saw a post over on the SMME board about someone having problems posting a "cookie monster" auction to ebay. Seems you can't have the word cookie in your listing's or ebay filters block it. In any case the VD rep posted a picture. Poor Cookie Monster has also been corrupted. He's eating fruit.
