That ebay_login.php script is dated March 23, 2004. Have you tried it
to see if it still works?? If eBay has altered their login in the
last 16 months, it may not, in which case, any translation of it
probably won't work either.

Right now, if I do a command-line page fetch on the first url you
gave, I get redirected to the secure server and the login form comes
back with 15 input fields, not counting the submit button. The submit
button isn't named, so I think it should not be sent. The original
ebay_login.php only returns 13 fields. The two missing fields
(rtmData & keepMeSignInOption) might be significant. As you're
setting FOLLOW_LOCATION, you'll be ending up at the secure server too,
so you'll probably want to set UsingSSL=1 as well.

If the submit button value *is* supposed to be sent, you should
probably escape the space.

I also get 6 cookies back, which is odd, because you're only showing 3...
