I quite agree. In all my conversations with both paypal and eBay, they have never admitted that they made any mistake at all. One rep told me, and I believe him, that they have no interest in spending huge amounts of money to pacify a very, very small segment of the ebay sellers' base. And in all honesty, I can't blame them for that decision. Now I no longer ship overseas. Its just not possible to fight the dragon when you are armed with a safety pin. Thanks for your views, Bill @spupilup wrote: I'll say it again. The way PayPal and eBay treat Mac users is disgraceful. Last Friday I needed to ship a number of international orders. I was on the PayPal site using my Intel based iMac (PayPal has decided my G5 isn't worthy). I generated several labels and then when I tried to print my last label I got the banner on top of the page telling me that PayPal shipping was down and to try later. I tried a couple of time later that afternoon to no avail. Saturday morning, I decided to try eBay for shipping. I could ship internationally with my newer Mac with PayPal so what could possible go wrong using eBay's shipping system. Two hours later I finally had a label come out of my Brother printer. My first attempt at using eBay shipping for creating a label, nothing happened. I filled in all the boxes, when through the procedure but when it came to actually printing the label I was continually told that FIrefox had plug ins I needed to download. When I clicked on the button to download the plug ins I was informed there weren't any. Went around it circles without getting anywhere. I called eBay and the first rep (Trent) told me that printing international labels with ANY Mac was a crap shoot. Those where his exact words. He told me Firefox, Chrome and Safari were not compatible with the software which was developed for IE. There was nothing he could do. Now, remember, this was at about 8 am on Saturday so I called back in the hopes of getting a more cooperative rep. This time I got Scott. He said, for the life of him, he had no idea why Trent would say the things he said as they were not true. He swore that he had many friends who were Mac users who had no trouble whatsoever with eBay shipping. At least he was willing to try to find a way around the problem stemming from the inability to print a PDF (an assinine way of generating a shipping label if you ask me). Well, after about an hour of failed attempts he located a workaround that required selecting "image" as the way to print the label (as opposed to document, photo and a few other choices). The bottom line is these companies, PayPal and eBay, love to make money off Apple products and users but don't give a **bleep** about us as sellers. It is disgraceful that we should not be able to use our equipement whether it's five years old or five days old.
