    HELP PLEASE...EBAY SEARCHES SHOWING ON OTHER HOUSEHOLD PC'S !!!

    I used to so look forward to Xmas shopping on the net especially Ebay..Unfortunately since I had my new laptop (Emachines E442 series) every item I search on Ebay shows up on all other laptops etc in the house...Telling everyone the 'presents' I am looking at. It shows on all other laptops/pc's as 'recently viewed items' 'your recent searches' and 'inspired by your recent purchases' Really getting me mad now as I cannot see a solution to this...I have tried the option of 'in private browsing' and it still happens...
    Can anyone help out there please as I might even go to the expense of a new laptop to see if it makes a difference.... YES it annoys me that much !!!!!
    Please go easy on me as I am an internet shopper / surfer only and have no technical info in this head of mine
    Thanx for listening

          sometimes on my hubbys but not my kids...They dont even have to log into Ebay just loading the homepage brings the items up...Really cant understand it...
          Just been onto Ebay customer support chat and they have told me to delete cookies and cache everytime...Nice hey hope one day I dont forget and ruin all my suprises...They all have to be banned while I am searching as the things I view show up straight away too...

                        Hello,

                        Are you using Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox?

                        They both have an option which keeps that kind of stuff synchronized between all computers you log on - since you log on on all three with that browser and your account.

                        Maybe it's something like that...

                        Cheers
                        Tiago
