Recently eBay changed the way bids are placed. Previously you had to
enter your bid amount, user name & password on one screen. Now, you
place your bid, hit enter, and then user name & password. In the
announcement section eBay mentions if you use an automated bidder
program it may no longer work.
Their reason for doing this is a security issue.
Sounds like it will help deter some sniping.
Here is a link to the announcement page:
