can't select buttons--esp. ebay

[kittykatty]

i searched a while but couldn't seem to find any threads related to this question.

i use the IE that comes with the Q and recently ebay changed its log-in pages. now there is a "log in" button that i can't seem to select and press. so i can't log in to ebay on my Q. hitting the round silver button or the "enter" button on the keypad doesn't do anything either.

is there an alternate link i can use to log in on ebay?
is there a way i can get IE to allow me to select this on-screen button?
do i have to use a different browser?

any ideas?
thanks

i know what you mean!! There is a Dooney & Burke handbag on there that has been calling my name for a couple of days now. I think I will put it out of it's misery real soon!!

I had the same problem with the log-in thing. I can't stand the mobile version of EBAY....no pictures!! Some of the other options aren't available on the mobile site either, such as the messages and what not. Hopefully they will change the sign in page again.

More and more sites are going mobile which means a smaller version. I prefer the mobile sites on my Q, in that I don't have to continually scroll over to see a page. I think once they go mobile then you will not get a 'regular' site on your Q anymore. I, of course, could be wrong but I think it's here to stay.

i usually have stuff in My Ebay via my computer, but when i'm out and about i can check on things i'm bidding on via my Q. so i dont really need pics then, since i already know what i want. and if you want pics, just go back to the regular ebay site.

i'm still trying to get used to the weird way websites look.....i think they should look like they do on the computer, and you just have to scroll left/right/up/down to get the right view. that's just me though. :D
