Oh, I know. God do I ever know.
I use a password generator. My defaults are _long_. But the nice thing is that I can pass it most constraint rules reasonably readily to create a valid password if I need to fit another use-case.
I don't use Ebay, but that sounds particularly annoying. Conversation on G+ suggests that the copy/paste defeat is to combat copy/paste exploits elsewhere, though by that point you might as well declare game over anyhow.
I'm definitely _not_ using "Monkey123" everywhere. But a lot of sites get a perfectly cromulent password ... and a mailinator.com email address (also randomly generated). I never use the same tokens twice (mostly registration-required but no real utility / long-term state storage).
