I’ve now loaded 2.1.4.1 and a snipe. We’ll see what happens…

Topic: JBidwatcher Help / Snipe died - unknown error

A snipe just failed (~2050 EDT today) with no reason given save for “unknown error sniping”. The attempt to upload the log also failed with “I’m sorry Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that”. This is V2.1.5 under Win7.

Topic: JBidwatcher Help / Sniped, won, got error

I just searched for the auction and it’s been removed (which is rather odd as the auction was less than a month ago). Sorry… :-(

Topic: JBidwatcher Help / Got currency error

I set up a multiple (two auctions) snipe for a laser toner cartridge, won the first auction, and then the wheels fell off. The second auction got a snipe bid, too. The good news is I was outbid – the auctions were in USD and I bid in USD. Additionally, the error log is filled with:
Tue Mar 10 16:34:26 EDT 2009: eBay says my max bid is a different type of currency than I have stored! at com.jbidwatcher.util.Currency.less(Currency.java:610) at com.jbidwatcher.auction.server.ebay.ebayAuction.setMaxBidFromServer(ebayAuction.java:642) at com.jbidwatcher.auction.server.ebay.ebayAuction.parseAuction(ebayAuction.java:425) at com.jbidwatcher.auction.server.AuctionServer.doParse(AuctionServer.java:264) at com.jbidwatcher.auction.server.AuctionServer.loadAuction(AuctionServer.java:212) at com.jbidwatcher.auction.server.AuctionServer.reload(AuctionServer.java:182) at com.jbidwatcher.auction.AuctionEntry.update(AuctionEntry.java:1135) at com.jbidwatcher.auction.Auctions.doUpdate(Auctions.java:158) at com.jbidwatcher.auction.Auctions.doNextUpdate(Auctions.java:188) at com.jbidwatcher.auction.Auctions.check(Auctions.java:210) at com.jbidwatcher.ui.ListManager.checkEachList(ListManager.java:152) at com.jbidwatcher.ui.AuctionsManager.check(AuctionsManager.java:93) at com.jbidwatcher.util.queue.TimerHandler.run(TimerHandler.java:56)
This is V2.0.1-825 under WinXP SP 3.

BTW, the auction kept bidders’ ID’s private. Dunno if that matter for the reported bug but there it is.

Topic: JBidwatcher Help / Sniped, won, got error

I set a snipe on an auction with a reserve. Bidding, at the time of the snipe firing, was way under the reserve. The maximum amount in the snipe was above the reserve (seller actually told me what it was!) and I won the auction right at reserve. So far, so good. However, JBidwatcher was unhappy about something 20:09:11. The activity log follows.

It appears I can talk to eBay, collect watched items, etc., but forget sniping. >:-(

Topic: Announcements / 1.0.2pre5 - Fixes save issues

I haven’t seen that happen but I watched a BIN move to Complete when someone used BIN on the item. In general, at least here, pre5 is looking pretty good.

Topic: Announcements / 1.0.2pre5 - Fixes save issues

1.0.2pre5 on SuSE Linux tracked an item withdrawn (auction ended early by seller – item is defective) without a hitch and also tracked two ended auctions where I was the seller. The dump listed earlier, it turns out, was driven by DNS problems somewhere in Comcast (OpenDNS used as a workaround). Bottom line: pre5 – two thumbs up!!

Topic: Announcements / 1.0.2pre5 - Fixes save issues

Unfortunately, that log might just set the range for when an apparent collapse of some part of the Internet happened. I’m now finding that some domains are accessible (obviiously this is one of them) while others (e.g., parts of eBay, sport-touring.net, parts of NOAA’s weather site collection) are not. I assume, then, some part of a backbone or some part of DNS has failed or been attacked. Hmmm… maybe I should try to read some news?

Topic: Announcements / 1.0.2pre5 - Fixes save issues

Er, unforunately, pre5 is now struggling with two auctions where I’m the seller. It handled a snipe nicely (I lost – outbid) but then stopped finding my two selling auctions, although they report in just fine from my browser (Firefox), suggesting the usual server problems aren’t at work here.

Topic: Announcements / Yet another test version 1.0.2pre4

I can confirm dl6dx’s experience – matches my own under SuSE Linux 10.0

Topic: Announcements / JBidwatcher 1.0.1 is not currently working.

Overnight (now 22 Jul EDT) eBay seems to have broken things again. The first clue was my usual bookmark to MyeBay summary page invoked the “guests go here, registered users go here” page instead of either MyeBay page or the daily “please login” page. And then I tried to collect the stuff I’m watching and the wheels really fell off:

Added: throughout all of this “excitement” the two auctions I’m running continue to show up as expected. No worries there.

Huntz, I tried your linux version and died on that pesky java version issue:

Note, however, that unlike past attempts, there’s no problem with versions. I do see two auctions I’m running, as always, but have no success with getting the three auctions I’m watching:

FWIW, SuSE Linux 10.0 is still unhappy although I do install all updates and patches released for this distro:

However, it does work on my WinXP system.
