When I go to ebay and sign in I do not have the padlock, it turns into an i with a circle.

When I go to ebay and sign in I do have the green lock. When I sign in I do not have the padlock, it turns into an i with a circle. This tells me my page is not safe. Right? How do I fix this?

Hi   !
The   "i inside a circle"  is just the new Material Design UI graphical update only. In the previous UI, regular HTTP webpages showed a   "blank page icon".

When you click on it, the information displayed is exactly the same. Regular HTTP webpages are  "connection to this site is not private",  as they have always never been private.

Only connections to secure, encrypted HTTPS webpages are private, and those websites will show with a closed green padlock.
