Topic: Announcements / Please please please - trouble alert

I love Jbidwatcher, but it seems with eBay bidding parameters a perpetually moving target, there’s never any way to know for sure if a bid will work at any given moment. As in tonight when I lost an auction for an extremely rare item I’ve been waiting to appear on eBay for over TWO YEARS.

How about PLEASE adding a feature to Jbidwatcher that would automatically display a big bold striped WARNING display whenever Jbidwatcher is launched after users have reported bidding problems. Then at least we could bid manually until a patched version is released. (Tonight I checked via Jbidwatcher’s “check for updates” menu item, but it replied my version was up to date. Not really true – there were reported problems and a new beta – updates didn’t report this.)

I’m happy to buy petty penny-ante eBay items in order to be part of the jbidwatcher testing and updating process, but PLEASE – don’t make me play Russian roulette when there’s a critical item for sale.
