This does the same thing as going to Safari/empty cache and can help.

Another thing you can do is delete the Safari Icon folder. Go to 
Library/Safari and delete the icons folder. Restart Safari. If this 
folder gets too big it can take longer for Safari to look up the icon 
than to just reload it. Some empty it regularly along with the cache 
and deleting the history.

A real speed up for ebay is to turn off JavaScript by going to 
preferences/security and uncheck the check box. This will help you surf 
ebay really fast but will limit some of the functions. You can  check 
and uncheck this at will.
