Thank God I installed firefox 2.0 although Im not trying to advertise that.  
This may have been discussed before, but just incase…

I was browsing for stuff on ebay, and then I click on an item, which normally will take me to that item’s page right, but instead it takes me to the login page. I didn’t notice that the address had changed into some ip.

But lucky me that FF warns me by popping up a window saying that this site bla bla bla bla…

hope this helps other ebayer…
