Ahhh, understood. There's someone between what you see as "ebay.com", where the GET is decrypted, and the actual ebay machine that will use the password information. I was thinking of it at the user-agent level. The GETs never leave your machine in plain text. I did not consider that the other end where you send the information could be "flakey". Bloody hell, it's a miracle anything works at all.

Not even necessarily, but the https logs are likely archived to another server, and that server will likely be secured completely differently.
