Topic: JBidwatcher Help / eBay Security Monitoring Prevents Sniping

Hi Morgan,

thanks for your reply and the ifno it’s a CAPTCHA, not a Turing number.

What about JBW not logging in every single time a bid is scheduled, but simply
keeping logged in for twenty four hours.

As eBay is offering such a choice in their login screen it should be possible
for JBW, too — and should reduce the number of logins per day significantly.

Sincerely,

Therese

Topic: JBidwatcher Help / Not Logging In..

Hi Martin,

if you’re talking ablut JBW not beeing able to login it could be due to the ‘Security Monitoring’ eBay introduced a week ago or so.

When you do a manual login you can observe they require a touring number additionally to username and password now. I don’t have a workaround for this, and an eBay staff even denied this behaviour exists at all.

If you’re not running into the touring issue (fortunate one!) and are experiencing login problems with a normal browser, you should try deleting all cookies and temporary internet files. eBay provides some information about how to do this with your browser on their help pages.

Sincerely,

Therese

Topic: JBidwatcher Help / eBay Security Monitoring Prevents Sniping

Hi Morgan,

since a week or so eBay has introduced a ‘security feature’ that looks like this:

A regular login attempt (with correct data) fails, instead an extended login screen appears which requires entering a touring number besides the usual data (username and password).

JBW seems to recognize this — at least a short popup informs me about the prog not being able to login.

However, there does not seem to be a workaround.

I’ve tried deleting all cookies and temporary internet files — no avail.

I’ve tried logging in manually to ebay.com as well as ebay.de in IE7 as well as in Opera (my standard browser), all four simmultanously — no avail.

JBW keeps saying ‘Not logged in’, bids and snipes do not fire, the only function that is performed is listing and updating of items.

Is there any workaround for this problem? I’m perfectly willing to perform a manual login once a day, however I’ve got no idea how and where.

I’ld be glad for any hint on this.

Sincerely,

Therese
