 Thank you for that insight...
I already made that statement about two weeks ago.  You are right, to a degree, having an independent user dedicated to use on EBAY makes it seem safer to leave your cookies hanging out.
There is an issue there though, there is cross pollenization of cookies that allow sites to share information. So, you might want a separate account for Paypal as well. But that won't do any good, because EBAY and Paypal are linked now. So, Paypal and EBAY can share info via their cookies.
What I was saying in my last note, though, is that a web site cannot remotely get your computer serial number unless they install software on your computer to retrieve it. And they can't get your computer MAC address either.
But on the other hand, they don't need to. They can obviously nail you and spy on you quite effectively without it.
