Hi, i’m running 2.1.6 on a Mac and am having the same “Yellow Login” problem. The StickiestLizard solution didn’t work for me, is there anything else I can try? It was working fine until a day ago.
When I do the “Test Login” I get the same message as the top initial post.

I’m having the same problem as doomkrad, the yellow light is showing in the login area even though the activity log shows me being logged in. If I have an auction ending in five mins and then another ending in 7 mins, it will fail to snipe the first one, but then the light will change from yellow to green and it will snipe the 2nd auction. How do I make sure that I stay logged in with the green light?

Many thanks!

Hi Morgan!
I’m running JBidwatcher (2.1.5-) on a WinXP SP3 (Professional) system. This afternoon JBidwatcher has started (again) showing the yellow light in the login area. The ‘Mature Audiences option’ has been OFF for quite a long time already.
Sorry to bring you this kind of news.
All the best to all your familiy, Morgan! ^_
Kind regards,
Valentin

I noticed the same thing on my Mac tonight (Snow Leopard 10.6.7). What’s odd is that all of the running (not finished) auctions from the “my ebay” tab have moved to “completed” and it’s showing the correct end-date for the auctions as if they’ve already happened, even though the real end date is up to 6 days away. I unchecked the mature auctions check box and that did turn the yellow (logged in but no cookies) indicator to green. Also, I noticed a new tab titled “recovered” tonight.

The only change I’ve made is that I added a watch list in Ebay this afternoon. Could that be confusing jbidwatcher?

JBidwatcher on my Linux system is behaving itself.

Both are running 2.1.5.

Greetings,
Awright, that’s it… Starting with the next version, I’ve removed the Mature Audiences check-box from the configuration display. sigh It’s been my #1 support problem for people having trouble logging in.

The flow when you’re logging in as a user who wants access to Mature Audiences items is about 4 pages longer than the normal login flow. That’s 4 more pages that crap can go wrong, and the flow can fail, and drop you out without all the cookies you might need. It’s also a hard-fail for non-US based users; if your account is based on a non-ebay.com site, like ebay.co.uk or ebay.de, then the Mature Audiences checkbox is a ’don’t ever log me in successfully’ button. :(

Folks can still set the ‘ebay.mature’ key to the value of ‘true’ (both without quotes) in the Advanced Configuration page of the Configuration Manager, and it’ll go through the mature audiences flow, but I’m done making it easy to fail to login. :-)

Sorry for bringing this up again, but I had the same issue as madra described above with “Not logged in…” in the upper right corner, and an alert with:

“Not yet logged in. Snipes will not fire until logging in is successful. Item updating has been enabled, but all features that rely on being logged in will not work.”

Interestingly this error was very consistent, but once in a while JBW would login and I would get a yellow indicator.

I have deleted the .jbidwatcher directory, switched back to older versions of JBW, however without any success. When I unchecked “I plan to watch and bid on Mature Audiences items on ebay.com” the issue went away (JBW logs me in every time and indicator is green). I have been off of eBay for about two months and the only change has been upgrading from JBidwatcher 2.1.3 to 2.1.5, and normal patches through Ubuntu for the OS and applications. For what it’s worth, I am running 64-bit Lucid Lynx (10.04).

It’s working now without the adult box being checked, which I’m fine with.

Hi Morgan,

Appreciate The ‘Registered Adult’ checkbox should not have anything to do with the My eBay search but I found unless it was checked it never pulled the saved auctions.

At the moment it makes no difference if ticked or not

Not sure what the Registered Adult tick does but I wrongly assumed it was to do with My eBAY listings as it was just above the lines

To have JBidwatcher regularly retrieve auctions listed on your My eBay page, go to the Search Manager and enable the search also named ‘My eBay’.

One interesting observation is that when the Registered Adult is ticked logon status drops to Yellow and as soon as I click on my ebay search I get logged off. Click on a saved auction and it recovers back to Yellow, untick Registered Adult and it goes Green

Forgot this: On startup and updating data, Jbidwatcher tells me that:
Wed Feb 04 14:52:04 CET 2009: Error setting up scripting: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/jruby/runtime/builtin/IRubyObject

Hi I have same Issue but only on my intel powered MacBookPro Running Mac OSX 10.5.6. My G5 Imac running on OSX 10.4.11 works just fine.
This completely beats me. I successfully sniped on an item last night with my G5.

Greetings,
The ‘Registered Adult’ checkbox should have nothing to do with whether it gets your ‘My eBay’ listings or not.

Make sure you’re opted out of eBay’s new ‘My eBay’ beta version, and you have your limit of ‘watched items’ shown per page set to something large (100 is good usually). Also check in the Search Manager (Edit | Search) to make sure your My eBay search is set up to run on a regular basis. You can test it by running that search specifically through the Search Manager.

I have the same problem and followed OzoneToms advice and its turned to green. However without the Registered Adult box ticked it will not get My Ebay saved auctions.

Looking at the error log there seems to be some sort of redirect taking place when that button is ticked

Madra, I just observed similar behavior. On a hunch, I unchecked the “Registered Adult” setting in the eBay General Options and right away a login succeeded and has remained so for a half hour now.

I’ve got the same issue in windows—“Last login did not clearly fail, but no valid cookies were received”.

I also am unable to snipe—it will update the auctions and show the ebay time, but cannot enter any bids in the auctions.

[jbidwatcher OSX 2beta10]

when i fire up jbidwatcher i get a warning that i am not logged in and therefore snipes will not fire. however, at the top of the jbidwatcher window, the text which says ‘not logged in’ at startup changes to display my ebay username. but then, the coloured disc beside it is yellow, rather than the usual colours of green for ‘logged in’ and red for ‘not logged in’. added to that, clicking the ‘test login’ button in jbidwatcher’s preferences brings up the following alert:

so am i logged in or not? for some reason, jbidwatcher doesn’t seem to be able to tell for sure anymore.
