The same for me, since March 2008. Any help someone?

Thanks,

I am a new user of jbidwatcher and am having the same problem. I am running Debian Linux (the ‘unstable’ branch) and used apt-get to install jbidwatcher. I appear to have the 1.0.2 .deb release of jbidwatcher, target site is ebay.com.

I am getting similar errors whenever I add an item… The program starts fine and I can add the auction, but as soon as I do I get a similar error. There is a screenshot available at this URL:
