Topic: JBidwatcher Help / JBidwatcher doesn't launch on x64 Windows 7

When I try to launch jbidwatcher, I get a busy cursor for a brief moment, then nothing happens.

I’m running 64-bit Windows 7.

Topic: JBidwatcher Help / What went wrong ?

I put out a snipe on a processor. The auction ended and the snipe was never fired.

I hope I have given enough information.
Any help/pointers appreciated when not.

Topic: JBidwatcher Help / Bidding on country sites only ?

Is there any way to limit jbidwatcher to only bid on the selected national eBay site, rather than preferentially bidding on eBay.com ?

The reason I ask is that I’m currently in dispute over some items purchased via jBidwatcher, and whilst I’m in the UK and the seller is in the UK, because jBidwatcher won the auction via ebay.com (and not ebay.co.uk) I now have to refer the dispute to the US.

Topic: JBidwatcher Help / null price information for auctions today!

Just lost an auction due to null. Installed 2.2pre1, rebooted iMac…null is gone. Let’s see if it stays gone.

Curse you, ebay :)

Topic: JBidwatcher Help / Browser and other config problems

After an Win 7 reinstall, Jbidwatcher is not functioning as before. 1. It does not remember configuration changes I make, such as font color changes, etc. and 2. It thinks IE is my default browser, when it’s not. The browser config area says Firefox and for Windows command says ‘Launch Netscape’. Firefox is set as default in my Win 7 configuration. But when I double click on an item within Jbidwatcher or ask it to detect my browser, it picks IE. How can I fix? Can this be a cookie issue — because one of my new AV programs has set Firefox to accept no permanent cookies. Thanks, Arnstein

Topic: JBidwatcher Help / Unknown error Post from log files included

Set up several snipes for today, came home to check my winnings and nothing, none of the bids actually placed with unknown error. Here is the log file.

Topic: That's so meta... / Error: 'null(FP)' instead of the current bid

Greetings,
This thread was about a different problem.

That said, if you can replicate the problem with 2.2pre1 I’d really like it if you’d look in your auctionsave/ directory for the item number that didn’t parse right and attach that to a support ticket.

In any case, there’s another thread where more folks had chimed in, so I’d prefer the conversation mainly stated over there so the most people can stay up to date.

Thanks, and best if luck with your auctions!

— Morgan Schweers, CyberFOX!

Thanks. Found the link. http://www.jbidwatcher.com/download/JBidwatcher…

Topic: JBidwatcher Help / Current bidding price not updating.

please read other posts and install the 2.21pre1 version … most are improved and you should quit JBW and re-launch if auto update still does not work.

Topic: JBidwatcher Help / Current bidding price not updating.

Just installed JBidWatcher 2.1.6 yesterday and bidding on an eBay item. The current price (highest bidding price) was never updated after I put the item in the software, however, it’s always showing the start bidding price even the high bidding price has been updated on eBay website. It did show how many bids have been received, though. Pressing the update autions button did not help.

Can admin take a look? Much appreciated.

Topic: JBidwatcher Help / null price information for auctions today!

I think maybe you should try the new pre-release version – Bidwatcher (2.2pre1-20-g63dd570)

I am using it as it’s better than the 2.1.6 I use before.

I loaded your item 270898440082, and it showed the listing as being ended and with the proper high bid sold price with Bidwatcher (2.2pre1-20-g63dd570)

try seach a bit on the forum on the new Bidwatcher (2.2pre1-20-g63dd570) download links and check it out. I think you do need to quit JBW and re-launch once in a while to “refresh”. Good luck!

Topic: JBidwatcher Help / null price information for auctions today!

Auction 270898440082 returns the null response under Current price column.
I am running 10.7.2 and checked for an update for JBW and was told that version 2.1.6-0-geb75036 is the latest. I was also prevented from entering a max bid. This problem does not seem universal as other auctions entered operate properly. Please help or advise.

Topic: JBidwatcher Help / Ready to give up here.. Unknown error sniping on....

Also, just comparing the HTML further, the javascript at the bottom refers to the different versions as well,

script type=“text/javascript” vjo.darwin.comp.utils.EventUtils.callOnLoad([“Js-v4-2”]); in the working snipe and
script type=“text/javascript” vjo.darwin.comp.utils.EventUtils.callOnLoad([“Js-v4-1”]); in the snipes that gave the error

(had to take out the <> in the script tag above as it wouldn’t show)

Topic: JBidwatcher Help / Ready to give up here.. Unknown error sniping on....

Hi Thanks for replying to my log file. I was just curious about it so thought i’d have a look at it myself. I can see how you are getting the ebay page info and sending the snipe info back, I was just wondering though, does the actual coding of the html ebay submit page affect the snipe? If so i’ve noticed that the ones that generate the “Unknown error sniping” have slightly different css tags in the code than the ones that make it through. What i’ve noticed is that on the one’s that give errors and don’t snipe use classes like: id=“v4-1”, id=“spn_v4-1”, id=“but_v4-1”, and id=“txt_v4-1” around the input and submit areas. While on the bids that have been working there are classes like: id=“v4-2”, id=“spn_v4-2”, id=“but_v4-2”, and id=“txt_v4-2” in use. Don’t know if this is relevant at all but thought i’d just report anyway.

Topic: JBidwatcher Help / Ready to give up here.. Unknown error sniping on....

Hi, i have also just had this “Unknown error sniping” problem happen to me. My amount was the highest and the item sold well under the amount I had in the snipe, so it couldn’t be due to a higher bid.

Be great if this could be figured out.

Topic: JBidwatcher Help / problems after upgrade

Greetings,
Iced Tea is known to have problems with Swing (UI) and SSL certificates; just like RedHat started shipping with a broken JRE (back then it was libgcj) it sounds like SuSE is shipping a not-ready-for-prime-time Java runtime. Use the Sun/Oracle JDK as @bassdart indicated for the best results.

I’ll note that your time delta with eBay is almost exactly an hour, so it’s also possible your time zone or DST setting is incorrect. I don’t recall if an hour will cause SSL problems, but I know that at a certain amount of time difference, the SSL signatures become invalid. (So if your clock is off by a day, it’ll definitely break SSL. If it’s off by a minute or so, it won’t.)

The most likely problem, however, is that Iced Tea is not a supported or fully functional Java implementation, unfortunately.

— Morgan Schweers, CyberFOX!

Topic: JBidwatcher Help / problems after upgrade

So you’re using Iced Tea Open-JDK. It’s a bit odd that Jbidwatcher works here with an even older OpenJDK version than yours but as the Debian bugtracker entry reads exactly like your problem I think I would check (at least temporarily) if the problem persists with Sun-Java.
Maybe you can simply change the default to Sun-Java with ‘update-alternatives —config java’ in a root shell.
Nonetheless the future in Linux for Java, due to a license change from Oracle, will be OpenJDK.
Here are some hints for Java in openSUSE: http://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproje…
Hm, so the SUN-Java packages are already removed from the SUSE repositorys completely (also for older openSUSE versions?).
Ah, I think now I undestand what you meant with upgrade, you simply did an regular upgrade of your running openSUSE 11.4 and that removed Sun-Java!?

Update:
Detailed instructions from november last year (for 12.1 but should imo also work for 11.4. But I’m more into Debian, any openSUSE-Experts here?):

Topic: JBidwatcher Help / problems after upgrade

What distro are you using and how did you install Java?
Your Java version is quite old. I’m on Debian stable and Jbidwatcher works fine:
$ java -version
java version “1.6.0_26”
Java™ SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_26-b03)
Java HotSpot™ Client VM (build 20.1-b02, mixed mode, sharing)

Google gives some hints that there were problems with older versions of OpenJDK, see e.g. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bu…
In a short test Jbidwatcher runned OK here with openjdk-6-jre 6b18-1.8.10-0+squeeze2 (yeah, that’s really old!) – which manifests as “Sun Microsystems Inc. Java, version 1.6.0_18 on Linux” in the jbidwatcher log, so it’s unclear whether you are using Sun- or OpenJDK-Java.

Topic: JBidwatcher Tips and Tricks / populating searches.xml file

Q1: I don’t know an automatic way of populating the searches.xml from a spreadsheet but as the searches.xml is straight forward it shouldn’t be too difficult to write a (bash, Python, Powershell, AppleScript…) script that imports from e.g. csv (exported from the spreadsheet).

Q2: Set up the searches so that the searches will be put in individual tabs.
But be warned: Jbidwatcher will be slow with thousands of auctions. You definitely don’t want to have thousands of auctions in one (e.g. current) tab.
