Answer is real easy... You don't like the service or the conditions of
use...don't use the service, USE another internet bidding site...end of
problem and end of story.

Yes, you can remove them after the fact. You can also put toothpaste
back into
the tube, but it's a pain.

Furthermore, I just found out the hard way, that with this new 'feature'
you can
only bid under the used ID that corresponds to the email account you are
logged
into. I run cookie flushers all the time, but eBay has apparently found
some new
way of hiding them. They KNEW my user ID and PW, WITHOUT my entering
them. So
anyone with access to my computer can bid in my place, w/o knowing my
user info.

IMO, this is a real security risk.
