I have a new computer with Windows XP replacing the one I had with Win 98. I logged onto ebay and the little lock icon indicating secure log-in did not show after I logged in. It doesn't appear on vendio either. Other sites I use regularly show the lock. Is there something I need to set in my Explorer settings or what?

I'm not a techie, but I could have sworn that I used to have the little security lock when I was logged in both to ebay and vendio.

Thanks for any advice anybody can pass on.

I think the lock you are referring to shows up when you are on a HTTPS:// web site, not a HTTP:// web site.

Are you sure you are on a HTTP(S) site and the lock is not showing up?

Possibly you are not remembering correctly when the lock showed up in the past.

I hope that answers your question.

Scroll to the top of this page and click on the "My Account" tab. The lock should show up.

Vendio's "My Account" is encrypted (the little lock icon is closed).

eBay's "My Account" is not encyrpted (lock icon open).

I have XP, too.

Thanks, everyone. I realized that the lock goes on when I move to My Account in Vendio. I guess I wasn't remembering correctly about eBay. It does come up when I go to PayPal site and some other sites, so I guess this is just one of those senior moments.

You guys always have the answers.
