Just found out after two weeks of constant trying that you can't use eBay anymore unless you upgrade to OSX. Anybody else hear this?

It is nothing to do with OS9 par se, it is the browser not supporting the language etcetcetc the web pages are written in.

http://www.icab.de/

Tried iCab, Internet Explorer, Netscape and every other browser available. None of them work correctly. (iCab is majorly slow and buggy on classic OS9 anyways) It may be the browser that's at fault, but since there is no browser that actually works with eBay anymore, it means that you have to upgrade to OSX.

You people have obviously never heard of Wamcom (wamcom.org). It's a custom build of Mozilla Suite 1.3a (only made stable and has some features taken from the 1.4 build). It's losing support on a lot of websites, mainly those that use a lot of Java (since Java for OS 9 is stuck at v2.5.5). But, still the majority of websites work with it AOK. Including eBay.

I access eBay every day with Mac OS9. It is the browser that you are using. Netscape will NOT work on eBay anymore. NS 4.7 is latest browser for OS9 and it does not work with eBay. I access eBay using IE 5.1, which is the latest IE that will run on OS9, and I have no problems other that slowness of dialup connection, SO FAR AS OF TEN MINUTES AGO, although I can see that soon I won't be able to access eBay anymore and will be forced to DELIST over 700 listings, costing eBay AT LEAST $150 per month, as well as costing me hundreds of dollars per month. I have already been forced to delist over a hundred listings and am looking at paring it down to around 400 listings MAXIMUM. I am already working on a backup plan that EXCLUDES eBay from ALL of my sales, and in the long run INCREASES my sales without the limitations of eBay, including their assinine insistance that people with older browsers don't buy my products. At least half of my sales come from people with older browsers and eBay has just CUT MY SALES while at the SAME time raised what I have to pay them buy FIVE HUNDRED PERCENT (500%)!!!! That has got to be the MOST STUPID thing eBay has ever done. And in a year of so it WILL show up on their bottom line. Only by then I should be history at eBay, not needing them, not wanting them, and surely not paying them OUTRAGEOUS prices for CHASING MY BUYERS AWAY!!!! My website is already ALWAYS in the top ten out of millions on Google (and usually #1), so I am working on a plan to take advantage of that by listing TENS of THOUSANDS of items on my website, as opposed to a measly 700 on eBay. One thing you can do is send your complaints to this address: billcobb@ebay.com. eBay is a business in business to make money. If they think that they will lose a lot of business by keeping up with the 'latest & greatest', they may rethink their position and redo their pages. I have in the past been able to convince them that they would lose too many customers when they made a change, and they have reversed their changes. So far not enough people have contacted them with valid info to get them to change this. Basically, I tell them that the eBay buyers and sellers do NOT NEED the latest & greatest. Instead we NEED pages that WORK. As a seller I CANNOT afford to exclude potential buyers. Neither can eBay. Unfortunately, the IT people are in love with the changes and unless someone in charge looks at the bottom line the IT people will continue to exclude more and more customers until eBay goes bankrupt UNLESS someone high on the totem pole puts a stop to it. Basically the IT people love to make changes just because they CAN make changes. They NEVER look at what it is doing to the business or the customers and vendors of the business. They seem to think that everyone can afford to buy the latest computers every time a new one comes out. I CAN'T AFFORD TO SPEND TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS EVERY YEAR TO KEEP UP WITH THE LATEST AND GREATEST and NEITHER CAN MY CUSTOMERS. Basically, my business, and ALL successful businesses operate on the principle of IF IT AIN'T BROKE DON'T FIX IT. eBay's IT department DOES NOT HAVE A CLUE that forcing customers and vendors to go elsewhere puts THEIR jobs at risk. The above address goes directly to the office of Bill Cobb, the HIGHEST shaker and mover in eBay. Convince him that there is a problem and things will change. GOOD LUCK.
