Getting the best Web browsing experience on eBay
To ensure you get the best Web browsing results on eBay:
Use eBay's recommended Web browsers. eBay supports Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 or higher, Mozilla Firefox 1.5 or higher, or Apple Safari.2 or higher. These browsers are widely used, and their manufacturers provide continual security updates. Netscape Navigator is no longer supported by eBay. eBay is currently not supporting advanced functionality on the Opera browser.
Be sure JavaScript is enabled while using eBay. This allows interactive features to work properly. For more information on enabling JavaScript, see your browser’s Help.
Be sure cookies are enabled. “Cookies” are small files that eBay and other Web sites store on your computer, allowing those sites to “remember” your preferences and require you to enter your password less frequently. They also allow you to use certain features in My eBay, including leaving Feedback.
If you use a pop-up blocker, you may want to temporarily allow pop-ups while on eBay. This ensures all information is displayed and all eBay interactive features, such as eBay’s Live Help, are working properly.
To provide you the best buying and selling experience, eBay uses the improved technology only available in the latest versions of Web browsers. If you continue to use older browsers, you may notice that some functions and features you use on eBay will stop working as changes are made to the eBay site.
