Safari keeps crashing when I open ebay.....

[gpspad]

The last couple of says, whenever I go to the eBay website Safari stalls out and I get a beach ball. Every other sire works fine, eBay just keeps locking up and causing my iMac's fan to throttle. I have trying rebooting and shutting off my iMac, I even closed about 20 tabs I had open but eBay keeps locking up.

Any suggestions?

Do you have any addons installed like ad blockers? Are you in private mode?

Try looking at your extensions.
I use eBay probably way more than is healthy, and I have no issues. This is on 12.2.1 and Safari 15.

First disable extensions, clean out cookies and history as has been mentioned. It could be a cookie.
Also update Safari to the latest as sites that update quickly can cause older versions of java not to work.
If you go Safari>preferences>advanced at the bottom of the screen you can enable 'develop menu'.
When you have the develop menu there are a couple of things you can try and one is to disable javascript.
You probably won't be able to buy anything on ebay without javascript but it will show you if it's ebay java that's crashing your Safari- and that's likely.
In the same menu you can 'change the user agent' to a different version of Safari and see if that helps.
You can also try downloading Safari Technology Preview and see if that works. Sometimes if Safari is messed up that helps for a while but also if it doesn't work then it's time to look elsewhere
