Is it possible to save my file as an .eps in the online PS? I was able to in my old desktop app.

As far as I can see in the Help files, this isn't possible in the web version.
Since .eps is (a quite old, almost obsolete) vector format, I get they have bypassed it since Photoshop is primarily a raster program...

# digital mango Ugh...okay thanks for your help!

It may be an oversight, or something they thought nobody would need (I am not going to lie, I never saved as .eps in Photoshop... Now in Illustrator, I still do it often)
If you want to bring it to Adobe's attention, you can create a feature request in the official forum.

Something worth trying, is seeing if you can save as an .svg instead. SVG is a different vector format, more geared towards web use, but still good to export paths the normal way. Same with PDFs, actually .eps is an old format that was aimed at sharing files with print shops (encapsulated poscript) and is now widely replaced by PDFs (which contains eps internally), in fact the PDF format have been created on the back of the postcript technology (How Adobe started out in the first place 🙂 )
I also checked Illustrator on the web, and it doesn't export as .eps either, but obviously do PDF and SVG.

Personnally, I would prefer sticking to PDF (for print) and SVG (for web), if you files are vector.
