Well, what version of netscape are you using? It's quite likely that
you can't support higher encryption levels if it's version, what, 6 or
older?

If you visit http://getfirefoxnow.com you can download the current
version of Firefox which, more or less, is the direct descendant of
Netscape. Netscape development stopped for all practical purposes,
years ago, that same browser is spelled "firefox" for the last several
years.

The are suggesting IE and Thunderbird. Are they now controlling what you use for browsing
the net and how soon will they require use of selected browsers?

There's lots of reasons to upgrade from an old version of Netscape to
Firefox. No reason at all to use IE.

I use Netscape 7.2 and haven't seen this yet. Are you using an
up-to-date version of Netscape?

and scroll down to the "eBay Browser Support Changes Coming" message ...

# In keeping with overall industry trends, we're going to adopt new
# web browser support guidelines for the new features that we develop.
# For the Community, this means that after November 1st, members using
# certain outdated versions of browsers, or browsers with very low
# adoption rates, may experience site issues or errors as we introduce
# new features or make other site changes. (Read our Web Browser
# Recommendations for Using eBay Help page to see a list of browsers
# and versions we recommend.)

Netscape is not going to be around a whole lot longer anyway. if you
don't want to use Explorer, get Firefox, its the best browser available
now and free.

I am using Netscape 8.1.2 and I guess I will have to go to firefox. I am downloading it
now. They also acknowledge this in their message.
