After making a bid on ebay, ebay says, "thanks for logging out" and I am signed out of ebay.

I contacted ebay about this and they have the standard answer I'm often given, "Try using IE instead". I don't care to use IE.
However, this has happened several times in the last 2-3 weeks (3 or 4). I wait until the last 10 seconds to bid, then when my bid is entered, ebay tells me I've signed out (instead of taking my bid) and I'm logged off - losing the item!
I have tried making a bid on a future item so I'll have time to reenter and bid if needed, but it usually takes that bid without a problem. The problem is intermittent, as most time it works successfully. I'd guess about 10% of the time it kicks me off.

You can find the connection setting here: Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection
