I'm having problems with ebay. On the feedback page in the last column under date and time - pages aren't loading. I've had it open for 10 minutes now and it still says loading all the way down the column. |

Seems like I have the same problem, primarily in Ebay Motors once the page is fully loaded, most auctions, the page is too wide have to scroll to the right. Looks like the problem is the box with the tabs that say " Buyers Description, History Report, etcetera. The info that appears under these tabs in every other browser, is off to the right in Firefox. Just tried on a random computer at work and had the same problem but only with Firefox.
Looks like every Ebay Motors major auction, like from a dealer with lots of pics and info. The only pages that are normal are the simple auctions with little information.
FWIW, the page appears normal until just before it finishes loading....then the scroll bar on bottom will suddenly appear and page shifts.

I have had problems displaying ebay pages on and off for months, primarily ever since they started "developing" their new look and their new search "experience". I first experienced the display problems with the older Firefox, only under the "new search experience". I still have problems, most often when doing a search. I also will occasionally lose the ability to handle some javascript on ebay pages, such as "watch an item" click box. This problem would go away if I would click on my IE rendering option in FF. Then the problem went away a day later. I can't help but think that the ebay programmers are still tinkering with the code. |

I'm not a programmer and don't understand HTML, but what seems strange to me is that the display problems are spotty. If the programming is to blame why is it only on a few pages? Does the code change that much from page to page? Or is it only one or two lines of code that cause the problem and they are not present on every page? If that is the cause it looks like someone could track the nasty little code down by determining what lines they have in common that are not present in good pages. |

I also get this intermittent problem of displaying eBay pages too wide in firefox. Strangely enough, IE works fine. It happens on my desktop running Vista and on my laptop running XP. It is bad enough that I have considered dropping F.F. and installing Chrome (IE had it's chance for years and will not get another).
Now that I have read these posts I think the problem lays with eBay as it only started after they upgraded to their new look. I'm not sure that they will do anything to correct this. |
