Hello all. I have an Intel Mac Mini Core Duo and I have just discovered that I am unable to submit listings or pictures to eBay from any browser on my Intel Mac. I've tried Opera, Firefox and Safari. I also have a Powerbook G4 and eBay works just fine from that machine.

Has anyone else noticed this or come across a fix? Thanks.

This should be *browser* specific, not OS specific.....not sure why this would be the case, unless you have some setting somewhere that is preventing it. Just guessing here.

Unless this has something to do with the Java plugin weirdness on Macintels that people have been talking about. (I'm not intimately familiar with either Macintels or listing things on eBay, so that's just a guess as well.)

True, could be some kind of (insert plugin here) problem there.

I believe there is a way to force safari to run using rosetta, I'm not sure of how, I've tried searching but no luck. I'll bet its something really stupid like in a contextual menu or get info box. I'm not using an intel mac (yet) so I can't look for you.

Try that, see if it helps?

The Run in Rosetta option is in the Get Info window.
