Has anyone had any problem listing items to sell on Ebay using Safari? I've never had this problem until now I'm trying to list things with my new MacBook Pro and updated Safari. Every time I get to the page where you list your starting price and photos I can't continue or go back. I can go back using the back button but if I hit "Previous" or "Continue", it brings me back to the ebay home page. Has anyone experienced this??
Got a tip for us?

It works fine for me when I use it. I tend to use iSale 3 most of the time. It's such a sweet application. 
There is an interesting software for Mac called iSale. You can do 3 auctions, for free in the demo.
Just be sure to get the auction right, before you submit. It takes a few minutes, to learn all the features. I'm not positive I like it, but it's an idea.

I'm using GarageSale. It has the same purpose. It's not perfect and the interface needs a little work but it's OK.
Yes, the problem seems to be in the HTTP_AGENT identification string that the browser sends. It is identical to the power pc string, except it has Intel instead of PPC. I tried this in Firefox and Safari and both times it would not work. There are two work arounds that I found.
1) Run Safari using Rosetta, then it shows up as PPC again.
2) Using 'Safari Enhancer' software, you can change the browser identification string to be Mozilla(Windows), this also works.
I sent an email to ebay's help last week about this, but have not heard anything back. It would appear to be a bug in their code.

Open Finder, click on Applications, go down to Safari in the list. Now right click on it (or CMD-Click or whatever it is). Then click on Get Info. Look for the checkbox in the middle that says "open using rosetta". You probably will not want to leave it like that after you get done using eBay, as there is a noticable slowdown.
