Anyone else having problems with ebay sign in &...?

or trying to use an automated snipe program? For the past two days whenever I try to sign in on ebay it says my password is invalid and I have to type it again and then have to enter a numeric code into a box. Then it signs me on. This is interfering with "Snipe Monkey" being able to work correctly as it does not have a way to enter the numeric code. Anyone else having this problem lately, or just me? I sent an email to ebay asking if the numeric code box is a new security feature but I don't really expect an answer from them.

thanks
