Weird.

I see the message pop up but then Mozilla does display the "locked"
icon at the bottom, and clicking that produces a page that claims
AES-256 is being used.

This is rather disturbing.  How about asking Ebay?  Either we're being
pharmed, or Ebay has broken its crypto setup; either way they need to
do something about it.
