Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
Tonight when I was trying to send an invoice from eBay to my buyer the combine purchases buttons were inactive in Safari but worked as expected in Chrome. Sadly, that is not the only thing I have found works better in Chrome than Safari under macOS Catalina. It is all very well being "advanced" but if favourite sites are unusable it is pointless.

if you feel there are issues with sites such as ebay and apples browser then you should inform them of it

Have you tried to do the exact same thing and it worked using Safari? EBay's code is vast and complicated and glitches can affect quite obscure, little-used features. I was trying to uncombine purchases, if you know what that is, something easy to do on Chrome but the buttons were inactive in Safari.
I thought that is what I am doing. Neither of these big Internet companies are easy to contact; they take notice when their statistics show downturns. I am also curious to see if other users are having the same problem and know of a solution.
This is a user helping other users with tech questions forum, you are not addressing apple here just fellow users,
apple don't look across all the user helping each-other with tech questions for feedback it would be a needle in a haystack setup.
in terms of other users exp then this is the place, as kurt lang I don't use ebay too much myself to have experienced what you see, but my general rule of thumb is to always have a few different browsers installed, chrome likes to use a lot of memory, sometimes firefox has issues with some pages, sometimes safari has, sometimes I use ms edge (cromium version).
If the web developer prefers Chrome, they may be hypnotized into using Google specific features, or Chrome add-on HTML5/CSS3/JS functionality that may not be implemented, or does not play well with Safari. It is the responsibility of the web developer to test their site against the mainstream browsers that are expected to access the site, not just Chrome.
At the end of the day, it is not Apple's responsibility to ensure that Safari works on every custom website.
No problem on eBay for me in Safari. Does what I expect.
I don't do a whole lot of selling or buying on eBay. No way for me to easily test that.
Well, thanks for your contribution, Kurt, such as it is.
FWIW, I don't use ebay either. However, it may be worthwhile checking Safari's Security, Privacy and Website settings to see if changing any helps with the issue.
Chrome versus Safari on eBay?
