I was browsing the above URL in Webkit r23558.
(Assuming bugzilla allows attachments, I'll append it this report, since such
machine-generated
pages are highly ephemeral.)

There are two forms on the page with a "Watch this Item" submit button.
I chose the one near the top, in the main listing section.

HOWEVER... when I did so, EBay came back at me with a confirmation for "Buy it
Now".
(Thank God they first ask for confirmation) ****NOT*** a report that the item
had been
added to my watch list.  (Note that there is separate form with a "Buy it Now"
submit
option earlier in the page.)

I checked this multiple times -- clicking on the same button and always getting
the
wrong action.

I then visited the same page in Safari 2.0.4, clicked on the same button, and
the
correct thing (form submission results in a message from Ebay saying the item
had been added to my watch list) happened.  (Obviously I can't repeat the
experiment
in Webkit now, as the correct action has now happened.)

I haven't taken the time to investigate whether this is due to a malformed form
generated
by Ebay which requires some different sort of heuristication/work-around on
your end,
or whether it's simply a Webkit bug.  That's for Paid Professionals, or at
least Motivated
Individuals, to discover.

I haven't tried this experiment with other Ebay items containing a "But it Now"
-- frankly,
I'm very nervous about accidentally losing money using Webkit.

What I do know is that something completely unexpected and potentially
disastrous
(think: $$$$$$ lsss) happened in attempting to use Webkit in a very widely-used
ecommerce
application.  Please investigate this forms regression ASAP!
