I can say with absolute certainty that, with Safari, I have had a problem (the spinning wheel) every single time since....I can't provide a start date with any certainty, but it's been quite a while.
Maybe since Apple changed the pref pane and added that check box?
I'll have to start paying attention. The working re/Captchas I remember probably came up after I switched from Safari to Firefox.
Bauer is one of the sites I visit once in a while. Like other periodic-vendor visits, my routine has been to add them to my list of favourites until the transactions are done. That way the cart can remain in place until I've finalized the purchase decision(s). i.e. I may wish to add or subtract to an order over a couple of days.
I invariably close purchases within minutes of making them, so I use a hot key to turn Cookie completely off for the minimal amount of time involved.
