I bet eBay supports at least Firefox (if not other Gecko browsers) on Windows now.

I believe they still don't support any Mac browsers, however.

Should this be RESOLVED FIXED?

I'm going to confirm this. If eBay only wants to support Windows, fine, whatever (though I believe that's worthy of evangelism itself), but they definitely ought to be supporting non-IE browsers.

says IE 5.5+ is required and makes no mention of any other browsers.
