 thanks for all the replies.  let me ask a specific follow up- the
 sequence of events goes like this:
 
 a) user types their username and password into a browser, and clicks
 submit over an SSL connection
 b) user then is brought to a non-ssl connection, where they click
 something like "edit password"
 c) user is brought to a "change password" page, which is an SSL
 connection
 
 it seems to me that in step b, a hacker could catch the session,
 correct?  so are we to assume that ebay is doing something in addition
 to sessions, such as IP recording, etc.?
 
 thanks again,
 dino
