Topic: JBidwatcher Help / Linux: "Time left" 1hr too much

I can confirm this problem also affects the Mac version in the UK.

Rather than merely saying – me too, I do have a tip for a temporary workaround. As the error margin for me and most people is exactly 60 minutes, you could as a temporary solution increase the amount of time before the end of an auction that JBidwatcher bids so instead of 30 seconds make it 60 minutes and 30 seconds, this would mean adding 3600 extra seconds.

Topic: JBidwatcher Help / Multiple auctions showing same wrong seller

I am running JBidwatcher 2.1pre7-8-g61363f2 under Mac OS X 10.6.3 and currently have about ten auctions listed.

I have just noticed the last few I added have been added with the column showing the seller ID as “a question” and when the previous few are updated they changed also to showing the same “a question” as the seller ID.

This appears thankfully to be merely a cosmetic bug.

Topic: JBidwatcher Help / Vista Drag & Drop stooped working?

This is happening to me as well under Mac OS X 10.6.3 in both 2.1pre5 and 2.1pre4. Pasting only the item number works, dragging OR pasting the full URL does not work.

I would guess eBay have changed the format of the URLs and currently JBidWatcher does not understand the new format.

Here is an example URL that does not work

As you can see I am using ebay.co.uk

Topic: JBidwatcher Help / communication error talking to server

I am getting the same problem with Jbidwatcher 2.0.1 under Mac OS X 10.4.11. JBidwatcher cannot login, and I cannot add auctions to Jbidwatcher.

I have manually logged in to my eBay account in a web-browser successfully and I have checked my email and had no nasty letters from eBay about my account. It looks like eBay have screwed something up (again).

PS. There is no override line in my JBidWatch.cfg file and I am based in the UK.

Topic: Announcements / [Release] JBidwatcher 2.0 is out!

As recommended I upgraded to 2.0.1 (2.0.1-825) when it was released.

However I have encountered one new problem, twice now, I have come back to JBidwatcher and found every auction in my current list has had a bid (or snipe) of £1.00 placed on it. I am based in the UK which is why it is in Pounds, I suspect if I was in the Eurozone I would return and find it had placed bids for €1.00 (one Euro).

If they are snipes then it will not let me cancel them.

I normally leave JBidwatcher running by itself so I can periodically look at the list of auctions I am monitoring and of course so it can Snipe for auctions if I choose.

I am running JBidwatcher on a PowerMac G4 running Mac OS X 10.4.11.

Quitting and relaunching and letting it refresh all the auctions does not change this. So far all the auctions had already exceeded £1.00 in value prior to JBidwatcher making this error meaning I have not been stuck with items I did not want.

During the time I was running version 2.0 this did not occur.
