				| 
 |  
				| Hi there, 
 today, i recognized that passwords containing special chars, as $, although working with ebay, aren't accepted by gixen. After changen mine to a password without special chars, everything worked well.
 Perhaps as PHP-Problem with those $-Chars?

				| Sorry, the $ sign is a taboo for Gixen. It greatly complicates things... |  |

				| What about the other symbols? I think it would be more beneficial if you could post a comprehensive list of "taboo" characters. That way, I'd know exactly what to omit from my password generating algorithm.
