For the life of me I don't see too many possibilities of these sorts of things being caused by corrupted cookies, cache etc. That would again seem to point to major flaws or maybe even some joker running around the backend changing things; an internal hacker perhaps.

Here is a link to the auctionbytes blog post where there is charts, and quite a lively discussion, but please also take the noise to Web 2.0

Yes, ebaY has a reply, and they state there will be more...
I think we all know what that will be...
For those of you unaware, ebaY still has case insensitive passwords, a cookie handling flaw, and they allow dangerous forms of scripting content inside the user-generated portion of their site. In short, the site is hacked cracked and zombied.
Proof is on my YT channel and a bazillion complaint sites in cyberspace and includes/ is evidenced by Paypal's newest unannounced payment holds for everyone policy.
There is no way of telling what else they will find as web/wireless web technology continues while ebaY stagnates, or what else is out there now for that matter.
Do you trust such an outfit with your financial info? Your livelihood? Your future?

Cappnonymous pokes fun at ebay's ever changing and increasingly complex policies.

Clearly there is something wrong with this corporation. How can they dream of this? View a screencapture of the entire jawdropping thread here.
Let me restate that the long uncorrected ID stealing critical XSS safety flaw is still present and claiming victims on ebaY. This new ebay procedure ensures that many, many more victims will be claimed. More lives ruined!
Do you trust this irresponsible, fly-by-night outfit?
Now, onto another HQ remake of a Cappnonymous classic consumer awareness video from around 2 years ago. As you can see, the situation is worse today than it was when the video was made. Also note that the victim chimed in at the video on youtube to relate his unpleasant experience with ebaY, with regards to having been hacked!
There are quite a few such comments at my Youtube videos and also here at my blog.

First off, when we shot this film (above) Ms Whitman was extremely difficult to work with. For such a small part, she repeatedly made lewd, untoward requests of poor ol' Cappnonymous. Not quite as disgusting as what Uncle Griff was however. lmao.
Seriously, the ebaY Vs Craigslist trial is proving to be very interesting. It seems that Meg has been pegged as an evil monster and Craigslist painted as naive. Which is the lesser of 2 evils?
ebaY's predatory, bloodsucking, backstabbing nature has been exposed, along with more glimples of ebaY's warped, arrogant corporate culture and Megalomaniacal mindset revealed.
How will this affect Ms Whitman's run for Governor of California?
One thing I am pretty sure of, and that is that all the fraud that went unrepaired/unresolved, ignored, covered up etc during her tenure are not going to help. I would be willing to bet that if she should get all the way into the final race, we will be seeing more where that came from. Lots and lols more.
Ms Whitman is every bit as much responsible for ebaY's present state of affairs as Mr Donahoe, perhaps even moreso. (imho)
