It seems like something weird is going on at eBay. Right now Safari (at least the 3.0 beta on the Mac) is getting some strange formatting glitch on search result lists that causes the price column to move far to the right. And then look at this auction. What's going on with eBay?

EEEEW. Looks like someone edited the HTML so that the text on the page flashes every second. WHY would they do that?!

Seams like some 'dumb' browser sniffing is going on too, Just got this on the my ebay login screen.

Considering, I am currently using Leopard & Safari 3, I don't quite see what would be classed as an 'upgrade'.

It does the same thing-inconsistently-with Firefox on my wife's iBook.

LOL. My mother sent me the link, and she and her friends are big Angels fans.

I tried listing an item on eBhey, and it choked with Safari 3. Works fine with Firefox.

You're joking right? Safari is not exactly considered the best browser out there... considering that most everyone that uses Safari regularly has to have a stand-by browser for the sites that Safari doesn't work well with (according to previous threads in this forum at least) I would say that either IE or Firefox would be considered an upgrade to Safari.

But I gotta admit, I *love* the response times on the new Safari for Windows.
