Hello,
While many will not miss Internet Explorer, I don't know of a replacement that will do as good a job for ebay auctions. Now, when I download the web page for an item, IE downloads a copy of the page, with an item description and with the url. Later, to check the auction progress, I double click on this saved page on the Desktop, click the Connect button and it connects and refreshes when I click on the bids link. However, when I tried Safari, an ebay auction page was not saved with the images, the page did not have a correct title, and later double clicking on the page just opened the page on my desktop but there was no web url at the top- just a link on my Desktop so I could not connect again to this page. What browser are people using to follow ebay auctions- a browser that downloads the page content and pictures? So far, I have found IE the best for auctions, on both OS9 and OSX.

Firefox allows you to save a pages as "Web Page, Complete", which does that.

For that matter, so does Safari...save as 'Web Archive', it saves the text, images and other components of the page. If you save it as page source, it doesn't do that.
