I've been selling on eBay for several months now and have had no issues
whatsoever using my MacBook Air. None. Zip. Nada.
Chris, I believe you need to take your computer out into the desert, find a
reputable shaman, and see if the shaman can remove whatever foul spells
have been placed on you and your technology. Seriously. (Not <g>)

I wonder why you have such odd problems that the rest of us don't seem to
encounter. I have no idea what it means to have evilbay "disable"
"functions". Nor do I have any idea what it means for something to "time
out at the system level". What is "the system"? How do you know it's
timing out or where?
I know very little about bikes but decided I'd play the part of a
restoration parts buyer. Did a search for a "Raleigh crankset". Found one
for 50s-60s bikes. Buy it now and everything else seems to be working just
fine. I've never seen any of this stuff not work in probably 10 years of
using ebay.

I'm over at the bike shop using our MacBook Pro laptop. evilBay
has disabled just
about every function you can think of. Buy It Now is disabled and
simply times out at
the system level. You cannot contact any sellers. The shipping rate
calculator says
that my ZIP code is invalid. The "Help and Contact" page does not
exist. The last system
announcement was 10 September.
This is American technology at its finest.
When I got back home I check the defunct evilBay URLs using:
http://internetsupervision.com/scripts/urlcheck/check.aspx
and sure enough, most of them timed out. I was finally able to get to a
Buy It Now item that I very much needed for a bike I'm restoring, but it
took a full 45 minutes to complete the transaction, mostly due to evilBay
timing out and disconnecting at their end. I endured this while at the
same time repairing my refrigerator, which had been partially broken since
last weekend.
Maybe they'll have the shipping calculator working by tomorrow, but
I doubt it.
