I use ebay for selling. In Netscape it won't let me sell because it insists that my location is wrong. I tried using IE which worked fine at first but now keeps saying that it has a problem with my picture.I strongly believe cookies to be the problem. I have tried clearing all history & cache, but this has not helped. HELP! how can I get rid of cookies? shaktiman Quadra 840av 128MB ram 2MB vram cd drive(caddy),1 caddy!:-)1.44 floppy drive,inject :-(1.2 gig drive

I don't have netscape but in internet explorer in the prefrences in the list on the right click cookies and there you can delete the ones you want.-Danny

If your version of Netscape does not have a cookie editor, you can use Sherlock or Find File to locate any file that has the word "cookie" in it that is stuffed deep inside Netscape's preference folders. If you have multiple copies of Netscape, IE, etc., then look for the cookie file that changed with your most recent use of Netscape. If you don't want to delete all your cookies, you can edit this file fairly easily. Make a copy first (in the unlikely event of a cookie catastrophe). The file is a plain text file with one cookie per line. Although the file contains one of those "no user-servicable parts inside"/"do not edit" warnings, as long as you simply delete entire lines, I think you will be safe (anyone who is wiser in the ways of cookies should correct me if I am wrong). In your case, look for lines that have "ebay" in the first word (which identifies the cookie's source). Hmmmmm.....  I wonder if one could crash the website of some much-hated company by creating malformed cookies that would cause indigestion! Happy cookie crumbling,

CookieCruncher 1.1 rocks! Give it a try, just flag the Literature Classics (68kMLA), the eBay cookie and any others you approve of to never be deleted and then all you need to do is open it up, select all, delete and tell it to save the changes when you close the window and ALL the unwanted cookies are suddenly sewage! I do that and clear the browser cache whenever Netscape starts to bog down. If I'm googling like a madman I'll quit Netscape to blow out the cookie crud that all the sites I've visited have tried to tag me with and then everything seems to run MUCH better when I fire Netscape up again. jt  ™.

Does anybody know of a better cookie utility? http://allmacintosh.xs4all.nl/preview/206696.html

I have just been all through the preferences menu, but cannot find cookies. I used cookie cruncher which seemed to do something & I seemed to have better access afterwards, but it didn't solve the ebay problem. I used findfile to find files with "cookie" in, found a few files & deleted them I still have the same problem . Netscape insists that the location is wrong(even if I select "don't list regionally"). IE insists that it can't upload my picture(Netscape uploads the picture just fine). I will now try a combination of both. Then I may try icab. shaktiman Quadra 840av 128MB ram 2MB vram cd drive(caddy),1 caddy!:-)1.44 floppy drive,inject :-(1.2 gig drive

I am the cleverest man ever?well perhaps not, but I did delve into the unknown to delete"hack out" all the preference files that I could find. Now I can list again on ebay. The world is not enough? I am happy Thanks for the replies which although did not directly solve the problem, helped & were usefull in other ways. shaktiman Quadra 840av, 128MB ram, 2MB vram, cd drive(caddy),1 caddy!:-)
