As reported in the newsgroup, most pages on the UK version of ebay show some glitches.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to a active bidding page on ebay.co.uk
2.Scroll to below the place bid now button and observe the payments area
3.Note the line below "Pay with PayPal and you're fully" is not rendered correctly
Actual Results:  
One line is not rendered correctly.

Expected Results:  
Readable text.

While for me the bottom half of a line is not rendered Peter Brown reported even worse display problems in the newsgroup mozilla.dev.ports.os2, thread Seamonkey2bpre2 and minor ebay page display problem.

I have to set my zoom size to 75% or 150% before I see this; it displays fine for me at all other zoom levels.

As said in mozilla.dev.ports.os2:
  The class "buy-rtm-content" that is used for the div of the PayPal text
  has a style of
     overflow: hidden; height: 32px; width: 250px; display: block;
  So text higher than 32px is cut off by design. 

--> INVALID

I am seeing a slight difference to the attached screenshot but suspect the problem is the same.

I have attached Display_Problem.jpg to illustrate the difference.
