THe other thing that could be done with a tech person who says you
need to use a real computer is to immediately ask to speak to their
supervisor or manager. Expalin nicely to them that the choice of the
COMPUTER is up to the customer, and wouldn't they agree that insulting
the individual is poor

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.

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.
