I posted almost the same question on the iMac list a month or so ago. The answer to your question is all browser related. I downloaded probably every conceiveable browser for my machine (iMac G3 running OS 9.2.2). After a considerable amount of trial and error I found the best browser that works the best with Ebay and Paypal is Mozilla 1.2.1.
http://www.mozilla.org/releases/old-releases-1.1-1.4rc3.html (The newer version of Mozilla won't upload pics to Ebay when your selling something). The only problems I have found with this version is it quits for no reason or quits when you go to the "bookmark" menu. This doesn't always happen but when it does a restart of the mac usually clears it up. If your interested I posted this question a while back on the 'fritter.

Hello, all, I'm hoping your joint expertise can puzzle this one out. Our 3400's have always been hideously slow - to the point of choking - on some websites such as ebay. In particular, https seems to kill things. In the end I found that using iCab & turning off JS made ebay bearable. But now, all of a sudden, I can't pay for anything with PayPal. I'm not aware of any changes that I've made , but its been a few months since I last tried. Any one else got this problem or is it just me? What happens is that it fails at the last 'review and confirm' screen - I click pay and it returns me to the same screen , or back to the start of the payment process in Ebay. Doesn't make any difference whether I start from ebay or paypal to do this. Looks like a JS problem? Except that its still no good even with JS on. Now I'm not sure if its either a problem with my particular machine, or all old macs/browsers. I have tried IE 5 and Communcator 4.7 with the same effect. Any ideas anyone? 9.2.1 MRJ 2.2.5 iCab 2.98 If anyone had a solution it would be great, I'm seriously considering getting a newer machine simply so I can browse the web properly, if this can't be fixed.
