Topic: Check if Jbid is still able to bid (due to ebay modifications)

I would like to ‘second’ this request, though for a slightly different reason. When someone starts using this software they are often very cautious, since they are committing their own ‘purchasing decisions’ to an unknown software package. The JBID manual is not really comprehensive. So they want to experiment – to put in ‘practice’ bids.

Ebay has a facility for this – http://pages.ebay.com/education/tutorial/course…. It would be really useful if JBID could access this in some way, to provide new users and those who are not sure if the system is working with a bit of confidence.

I understand that in practice it will be difficult or impossible to ‘check that the snipe will work’. That depends on so many things that only happen when the bid is entered, and if you actually trial a real bid you are ruining the whole point of sniping. But a simple test would still be useful…..
