I am in Australia, and have had this problem with EBay Australia from time to time. Like Andrew, I am on slow 28.8 K dial-up, use IE 5.1.7 and OS9.2.2
It first started about a year ago(?) after EBay changed the way they structured their site and changed the way pages are delivered. I emailed them at the time complaining about them implementing an untested change. I believe that the problem is a timing problem, between the EBay site content and JavaScript or whatever language these advertisement-heavy/database-lookup sites use these days. It regularly takes 45 sec just to get the EBay logon page to load, which is ridiculous considering how simple the page should and could be, but for some reason they seem to refresh every element of the page every time. Anyway, no wonder that IE occasionally looses track of where its up to when rendering pages. I suspect that there is a 'timeout' somewhere in IE or Java or 9.2.2 or ? that stops the page from displaying fully. On days when EBay is working 'quickly' and the phone line is running at its maximum, there is no problem with incomplete loads - its slow, but they do complete. I say a timing problem.
