Amber,
Since this is both a Mac and a Safari problem I suspect the keyboard
input. Safari is cooperative with various language inputs. In fact
it's really neat that us Mac users can set our whole operating system
displays to read and write in Japanese or German or any number of
other

Ebay like many companies on line is PC anal and they are big enough that
they don't care if other platform users are having issues with their site. I
find Safari to be much slower on ebay than Firefox and the last version of
Explorer for the Mac to be almost unusable on ebay.

Explorer has not been updated for the Mac for quite a while now and it
doesn't work properly on may new sites even though the PC version works just
fine. I find Safari slow in many cases and use Firefox instead.

The same thing is available with Safari, as long as you install the
Debug menu (I don't recall the details, but it was covered in a
recent Macworld issue). However, regardless of how I have the User
Agent set, I have not seen any differences in behavior or usability
on various sites.
There are some seller features that I was told are not available on
Macs. I don't recall the details (I've just sold one thing on eBay),
but I think it had something to do with editing photos for a listing.

New idea: download and run a utility called DoktorKleaner.

Its a shell script that runs various repairs based on your current problem.
It has 4 or 5 repair scripts just for Safari.
