Comment Topic: JBidwatcher Help / "seller" unknown and some strange behaviour

Marc, not sure whether it’s related, but at least for eBay in the US, eBay switched over to their new auction layout, which has played havoc with jBidwatcher on my end in a similar fashion.

Comment Topic: JBidwatcher Help / Bidwatcher shows auction as FP incorrectly

On the other hand, I, too, went back to “normal” pages from eBay’s Beta, and still encounter the issue from time to time.

Comment Topic: JBidwatcher Help / Bidwatcher shows auction as FP incorrectly

Sniping hasn’t been an issue on my end, but I’ve not bothered to check whether any snipes were scheduled to fire while the problem was in play. The display error has been intermittent for me, so I don’t think there’s been a large window of opportunity for the two events to collide as a test case.

Comment Topic: JBidwatcher Help / Bidwatcher shows auction as FP incorrectly

I’m still on 1.0.2 as well (OS X 10.4.11) and have seen this behavior for the last two weeks or so. On occasion, after running a while, properly listed auctions all show as fixed priced with seller listed as “(unknown)” in the program. Usually, the error reverts itself back to proper listings. No idea on this end what the underlying issue may be. I’ve put off upgrading past 1.0.2 for the time being, maybe it’s time to upgrade … ?

Anyway, you’re not alone in observing this issue.

Comment Topic: Announcements / [Release] JBidwatcher 1.0.2 is now available!

Alas, the “silent” updating described above appears not to work as outlined (for me, at least) on OS X 10.4.10 … is there some hidden trick to it? ‘File’->‘Check for Updates’, as there appears to be no noticeable end result here.

Comment Topic: Announcements / Yet another test version 1.0.2pre4

Morgan, thanks for the speedy updates. I’m still getting the occasional “red eye” on queued items—they periodically appear on an update, clear on a later update, then appear again, etc.

Relative the number of items queued, it’s only a small fraction of listings that behave in this manner. An example would be item #160139144441 (ebay.com) but it just cleared the red eye (again) on the last update.

OS X 10.4.10 / Intel

Comment Topic: Announcements / JBidwatcher 1.0.1 is not currently working.

Kevin, I can safely add auctions both by drag-n-drop and by cmd+I … and I don’t see any complaints in the Console. I’m running the pre-release on OS X 10.4.10 atop a 15” MBP (Intel). Auctions are pulled from ebay.com (US).

...short of sniping (untried as of yet), seems to resolve standing issues on OS X 10.4.10 with respect to properly parsing and updating queued listings. Sweet! (Just make sure to `cp -R ~/.jbidwatcher` to another location in case of mishaps.)

Is this the first time JBidwatcher has been built with Java 1.5? I haven’t fired up the old lappy in a while, but isn’t this flavor unavailable to users of OS X 10.3.9 … ?
