Knowing that there's a few EBay users on the list who also know how to

On the rare occasions that I do actually bother to search EBay for
anything classic computer related I quite often find that hitting the
search submit button just hangs, with the browser (Opera under Linux in
my case) sitting there saying "Waiting for DNS confirmation of cookie
domain(s)".

Presumably others might be able to shed some
light on this, or at least
confim / deny that they've seen similar problems with EBay UK from
different platforms and browsers...
I use Opera and Linux and I've not noted this particular problem.
It does sometimes hang when fetching pics from
thumbs.ebaystatic.com.
Stopping the download displays the page minus the thumbnails, so all
is not lost.
No problems noted with iCab on MacOs 8.6.
Have you tried Konqueror, or Mozilla? Why do you use Opera?
I just loaded Suse 9.1, which uses KDE 3.2, and I am extremely pleased
with the whole distribution. I use Evolution 1.4 as my email client,
rather than KMail, and Open Office. This new Suse distro has everything
that I need now, except that I can't get my Linksys USB Wireless adapter
to work on it yet but that is the fault of Linksys rather than Suse
(it's a driver problem.)
Which GUI do you use? I tried Gnome but KDE is better in every way IMHO.
