Comment Topic: JBidwatcher Help / JBW kills Mac restart

When I restart my Mac and JBW is running, restart says something like “JBidwatcher killed the restart”, and the restart stops. I then must exit JBW and select restart again. Could you have JBW ask the user if the restart should proceed, and if the answer is yes, exit JBW automatically, and let the restart continue? Thanks.

Comment Topic: JBidwatcher Help / Lost history

I’ll add my voice to this chorus. Same symptoms as Carl Holmberg. I reverted to 2.1pre5 and that’s better. By the way, when I tried restoring 2.1pre5 from Time Machine, it kept failing saying I didn’t have permissions, but I’m admin on my own iMac. I finally traced it to the permissions on Jbidwatcher being r-r-r. When installing JBW, should set permissions to rw-rw-r.

Comment Topic: JBidwatcher Help / Seller (unknown)

Jbidwatcher shows Seller “(unknown)” for ebay item 260453749218 (ended). Looks like ebay has thrown another wrinkle.

Here are two examples of the Minimum Bid being set to $1 when I didn’t bid nor snipe, just entered the auctions into Jbidwatcher: 250400569856, 250403084637.

Comment Topic: JBidwatcher Help / Missing column separators

Niggle: the vertical bar that separates column headings is missing from 2.0beta3. I can still drag the invisible column boundary to change the width of columns; just missing the visual clue that shows the column boundaries.

Comment Topic: JBidwatcher Help / Disallowed from bidding

Using Jbidwatcher 1.0.2, I tried to snipe http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&i…, but Jbidwatcher said:

Sun Nov 04 19:59:58 EST 2007: Snipe failed, as you are disallowed from bidding on polkadotpatty’s items. (1)

I sent a message to polkadotpatty asking why I was disallowed, and (s)he said I was allowed, and welcomed my bidding.

I suspect that the Jbidwatcher message might have been the result of this seller enabling “User ID kept private” in this auction, but don’t really know. The bid history just shows “private listing – bidders’ identities protected” where the bidder name usually shows. Could this be the reason JBidwatcher said I was disallowed from bidding?
