How to control font size on eBay list

I am trying to control the font size on the eBay list so that it looks the same (more or less) in Firefox and Internet Explorer 8.

To simplify things, I just specify one font size for all body text:

<body style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px;">
 ...
</body>

However, although locally (on my PC) the font looks the way I want it to look like this:

Firefox 3.6:

Internet Explorer 8:

In eBay itself, the font looks a lot bigger ( not what I want):

Firefox 3.6 on eBay:

Internet Explorer 8 on eBay:

I tried, of course, a different specification of the font size unit ( em, %etc.), but the discrepancy remains.

Why is this happening and how can I get around this (without resorting to posting a text image ...).
