    This auot-sign off on ebay is just getting too annoying

    I sent an email to them, i want the old 'Keep me signed in' option back.

    Is there a petition somewhere for this?

    It's irritating me too. "Keep me signed in." is about as random an option I've ever seen really

    Their response:

    Hello,

    Thank you for writing to us. I am sorry to learn that you are asked to
    sign in again and again.

    Please note that tor security purposes, after a period of inactivity or
    if you close your browser, your session on eBay will expire and you'll
    need to sign in again.

    How to stay signed in with a session cookie:
    To save time re-entering your User ID and password, you can have your
    computer remember this information for one day. Your password will be
    saved until you sign out, even if you disconnect from the Internet,
    close your browser, or turn off your computer. If you choose this
    option, eBay will still ask you to re-type your password to access
    personal or financial information.

    Please note: as a safety measure, if you're using a public or shared
    computer, always click "Sign Out" in the top of the screen when you're
    finished using eBay.

    We'd like to take this opportunity to remind you of steps that you can
    take to protect your password: Etc...
    ,they could at least have some option deep in the accounts settings for this, somewhere where stupid people wouldnt touch it and smart people could deceide for themselves
