Topic: JBidwatcher Help / Most auctions appear as FP

Hi Morgan,

Sorry for bad news but JBidwatcher 2.0.1-825 still has false-FPs.
Sample auction numbers are 180394658849 and 320407333795.

Topic: JBidwatcher Help / JBidwatcher no longer works for me. Any alternative?

Hello,

I am sorry but it seens I cannot use JBitwatcher anymore for the reasons described here: http://forum.jbidwatcher.com/forums/7/topics/1639

Can anyone suggest any free and reliable alternative for the time until CAPTCHA displaying will be inplemented in JBidwatcher?

Thank you.

AFAIK as far as I see this is because of CAPTCHA. Here is what log says:

Let me also add that in my case eBay does not remove the CAPTCHA after one-two days
But when I log in with a browser it does not show me any CAPTCHA, so could there be any different reason for ‘Not logged in’?

Coming back to these discussions:

http://www.jbidwatcher.com/help/faq.shtml#ans9

Why not just to update JBidWatcher to show the eBay’s CAPCHA picture to user and prompt him/her for proper input?
Then the sesson will be established and JBidwatcher will start working properly.
If eBay will ask more CAPCHA during session the same dialog should be showm with an alartm sound – to make user aware.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks
