It's because only the login page is secure, where you type in your password. After you log in and go to the E-bay main page, you go to an insecure page since you're not passing sensitive data anymore (your password). If you're getting the message now and never got it before, you've probably installed a Microsoft Update to your computer (may have been installed automatically if you have automatic update enabled). One of those updates may have changed your Internet security settings to a higher setting. That higher setting is why it's giving you that alert that you're going to an insecure page. If you did an update to Internet Explorer, it would do the same thing.

I just logged in to E-bay to try it, mine doesn't give me the warning (I use Netscape and have changed a lot of those default settings) but I noticed it does go from a secure to unsecure page after you log in.

That box probably has a checkmark you can check to tell it not to remind you again, if you check it you won't get the box again.

If you're worried about security, try Firefox or Netscape - anything but IE!
