I use Ibrowse v2.3 with Miami v3.2/SSLv2.11 and eBay works fine on a 68060 with lots of memory, albeit slowly.  I too have experienced crashes on a 68030 machine with only 16Mb of fast ram.  My guess is the SSL or javascript or something gets bogged down on the 030 while on eBay and I don't have enough memory or conflicts, so it crashes.  Since eBay went all SSL I no longer use the 030 machine.  I noticed the same thing happens after a couple of posts on amiga.org (i.e. fantastic crash).  My guess is it's probably memory-related.  Maybe 32 mb is a realistic minimum.

@Aledt

By Jove, you're right.  If I disable javascript in Ibrowse2.3 it works rather well on eBay, even with just a 40MHz 68030.  Trouble is, I have only 16MB of fastram, so I have to keep flushing cached images from memory to avoid a crash due to insufficient memory. MiamiSSLv2.11 seems to work fairly nippy as well.
