135912 - Cannot complete Sell Your Item on eBay.co.uk

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: English Other, defect)

Description

[ahackett]

I'm sure I've seen this before on Bugzilla but I cannot find the entry so
apologies if this is a duplicate. I'm using Build 2002040403 on Win98 and I
cannot progress past Step3 on Sell Your Item on eBay.co.uk. I click continue and
nothing seems to happen, no activity in the browser window at all.

[André Dahlqvist]

Reporter, can you please take a look at Tools->Web Development->JavaScript
Console after you have tried proceeding past step 3, and see if any error
related to ebay is displayed there?

Comment 2

[André Dahlqvist]

Probably a dupe of bug 132988, because I think ebay are built the same way in
different countries. See comment 2 in that bug.

Comment 3

[ahackett]

I get the following error:

Error: document.SelectorForm.StoreDeptId has no properties
Source File: http://cgi5.ebay.co.uk/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll
Line: 70

Comment 4

[André Dahlqvist]

That's exactly the same error as the American ebay had, which was covered in bug
91018. I guess it's silly to dupe this against bug 132988 since separate
evangelism efforts are probably required. This is evangelism though.

Well now, this is a curious turn up. I'm not sure exactly what’s different about
relisting an item but in the build #2002042403 I can relist an item with no
troubles at all. Does anyone know if they've updated the pages for selling a new
item?

You could do the following to fix this (Not the ideal solution but better than
using IE)

add to your prefs.js the following:

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.0+) Gecko/20020511 Netscape6/6.2

[Carsten Menke]

Sorry I forgot something, of course you have to add exactly this:

user_pref("general.useragent.override", "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US;
rv:1.0.0+) Gecko/20020511 Netscape6/6.2");

and it has to be all in one Line.

Carsten, a better way would be to use:
user_pref("general.useragent.vendor", "Netscape6");
user_pref("general.useragent.vendorSub", "6.2"); 

(untested)

[Brant Gurganus]

I am unable to verify this since I can't setup an account without a credit card,
but I never saw any JavaScript errors and there are two cases of this working,
so I marking this VERIFIED.
