Hi,
I had IE 8 on my old XP computer and had no problem with it. You can try
E-bay with IE 8 and hopefully that will help.

I didn't see anything about cash. I tried deleting cookies and
temporary files and nothing helped. I think I'm using IE 7, but am
not sure. As I said, I hardly ever use that browser. Can 8 work with
XP? Maybe, that will help. I still don't get why it's not working
with Firefox, as I have the latest version of that as well as of NVDA.
Also, it's not that the site doesn't work at all. I can search, but
can't narrow things down. If I found something that I liked, I could
buy it. But I cannot search properly.

well I bought an item on eBay two days ago using win 7, jaws 13, and i.E.

and had no troubles with either searching or purchasing my item
I would advise you try dumping your internet cash and cookies files using
the tools provided in the tools menu and try it again with I.E.9 or prior

The mobile version of Facebook is fairly easy to use. My main problem
is with Ebay. I did a system restore last night, but that didn't help
matters. I found that I am able to choose location and buy it now,
even though they're the strange half links half check boxes. But
there's still no way for me to sort by price, nor can I enter minimum
and maximum price. Those fields simply aren't there. I tried to see
if there was a link to return the classic look, or something of that
nature, but none existed. This was with Firefox. It's also worth
noting that, when Internet Explorer still showed the normal site, I
still couldn't purchase anything with it. Every time I would attempt
to do so, the page would freeze on me. Since I can't copy or edit the
url there, I was forced to copy the entire page of the item into
Notepad, then return to Firefox, go to Ebay and search by item number
so that I could buy it.
As a sidenote, I ran a full scan with Microsoft Security Essentials.
I can't tell if it found anything, since it's not really accessible,
and I just set it to quarantine and remove any moderate to serious
threats. But it didn't change the behaviour of Ebay.

i use fb, yes there are less accessibility. but you still can visit
them and can chit chat with your friends. for chating i use skype 6,
which give the option to configure fb contacts on it. and for
notifications i use both mobile version and mainsite also. main site
has more option so i mostly switch to it. but i am beginner user of
facebook so fb, so i always prefer that some one should made its
tutorial with jaws. initial tutorial withjaws are present on jaws
users list home page but they are about how to make account on fb, so
i request david and others that if someone has some tutorial regarding
facebook then please share. if someone write these in text then it
will take no more than two or three pages in ms word. so if someone
has sufficient kowledge on the social networking sites either facebook
or twitter should come up with great contribution in the form of
tutorial either in text or audio but with jaws. thanks

ah, well you could use jaws, it still works there on eBay (I don't use
facebook so can't comment on them), you could update to windows 7 which
is
not that hard to learn and can be customized to look just like XP, or
you
can play with your dos when it comes out!
live and learn, you make it sound bad, when it's actually a good thing

Subject: [Blind-Computing] Problems with Ebay and Facebook
Over the past several months, I've been having major problems with
Ebay. I've noticed that the combo boxes for sorting items, as well as
the edit boxes for choosing price, and the regular links for things
like buy it now, the various categories, location, etc. have all
become inaccessible. They now look like a combination of links and
check boxes, which do nothing when I click on them. I've tried both
Firefox, which is my main browser, and Internet Explorer. Sometimes,
they work properly, but now, neither one is working, and these
problems appear on both browsers, where previously, I was able to use
IE for the purpose. Firefox also started acting normally, a few days
ago, but has now resumed this strange look. The ad-ons manager in
Firefox has also become inaccessible.
I also have to use the mobile version of Facebook with both browsers,
since it's very difficult to use the main site on Firefox and
virtually impossible with IE. When I get e-mails of notifications
from Facebook, they all use the www. version of pages. But I can't
get to the address with IE, as I can with Firefox, in order to edit it
to m. so that I can view things on the mobile site. I also can't
update IE, because I'm using Windows XP, and 7 is the last version
that will work with my os! So basically, I'm left with only a few
options.
1. Change to a version of Windows which I have no idea how to use, and
no desire to learn, one which is far more complicated than what I
already have.
2. Buy another Mac (which is ridiculously expensive) so that I can
upgrade to Mountain Lion, or buy more memory for my Macbook so I can
upgrade to Lion. Both have better navigational features than Snow
Leopard, but I'm not a huge fan of the Mac. Please do not suggest to
me that I buy an iOS device. I don't like touch screens and the like,
nor do I wish to change to Linux.
3. Continue using Firefox and uninstall/reinstall it every time Ebay
starts acting up, hoping that will fix the problem (it didn't today),
or I don't like an add-on and need to delete it, or do a system
restore each time.
4. Wait for my MS-DOS 7.10 machine, which should be coming soon. I've
heard that these sites are accessible with DOS browsers.
For the record, I use NVDA as my screenreader. Has anyone else
experienced these problems? If so, what solutions have you found?
This is really upsetting me! What's worse is that both Ebay and
Facebook have wonderfully accessible mobile pages, but they don't have
many of the basic features of their main sites.
Thanks,
Eleni
