Hello,

I have my sniping to be 10sec before auction ends. It it has worked fine in previous vesions. Now with the latest version 2.1pre5, it is sniping about 2 minutes early. My pc’s time is synchronized with microsoft’s ntp server and I am manually synchronizing time from jbidwatcher server menu. What is going on?

Thanks.

Greetings,
JBidwatcher prepares the snipe at 2 minutes prior, which involves submitting the bid information to get to the confirmation page. Normally it then submits the confirmation 2 minutes later at the snipe time. If the bid amount is already too low at the preparation point, it will fail at that point. It hasn’t tried to submit the snipe, but it’s identified that it’s going to fail.

It’s not firing early; it’s just detecting that the snipe is going to fail early.
