fix for (FP) problem
|
Oddly all I needed to do was right click and update auction to get rid of the FP for each one. I might just download the patched version though for a full fix. |

@mrmarkf: |
|
Not working for an auction with unmet reserve price and buy it now. |

The ‘patched version’ is the .exe file you can find on Page 1 of this thread, inside the first message, Update section. ;) |
|
99% of the above I don’t understand. Are these “JAR” files JRE or is it something different? I like one other tried replacing the exe file with the much smaller file, but the same thing: nothing! |
|
It doesn’t work for OSX 10.8.2 :-/ |
|
C:\Documents and Settings\amonra>java -version C:\Documents and Settings\amonra> |
|
I have Linux Xubuntu. It tells me the patched version is not an executable file. Why that, it has the ending .jar. |
|
OK I updated Java to Java 7 and it seems to start OK. As and when this is integrated into the main build, I think it would be nice to build with JDK6 rather than 7 as a lot of folk are still using JRE6 Thanks |
|
This auction: 380499832274 on ebay.co.uk still shows as (FP) with the fix installed :-( Dave |
|
With NO bids, Vendor name is also incorrect – it shows as Q&A Time left shows as N/A Once I placed a bid, it appears to be correct (so far). Dave |
|
I’ve cleaned up the fix a bit and turned into a proper patch: http://qq.wz.cz/jbw-fixprice.patch As for the build failure because of inability to retrieve git hash, alternative to removing the exec part from build.xml is to simply type “git init” to initialize new repository in the directory where you’ve unpacked the source (unless you checked out the source from git, then you don’t need to do anything :) – this will cause the error message to be shorted and still acceptable in the manifest :) (still, proper fix would be to modify the XML, but due to limitations of Ant, it is not so simple) |

I have not had the (FP) problem at all… and here’s why… I had still been using version 2.5-0 (standalone) (windows). It was just today (11/9/12) that I noticed an update of V2.5.2. I loaded it up and viola! (FP) problem on all auctions. I had to add new auctions manually, and even then some got a server communication error. I’m not set up to compile source code now so for those that also can’t here’s what I did. Since I save the old versions after installing them (or just save the stand alone version in a separate folder, I went back to V 2.5-0. Instant fix! I realize not all of you save old versions, but perhaps someone posts them somewhere on the net. I realize that’s a weak fix, but remember… ebay changed things which broke 2.5.2, yet 2.5-0 still works!! |

In his initial post hobbes said : A way to be able to enter a snipe on an FP auction is to configure Jbidwatcher in the following way: Now you can enter a snipe on an auction by doucle-clicking on it. According to hobbes (see above) it should be fired, but I did not test it. Hope this helps. |
|
Without having tried hobbes’ fix, I will confirm that the above configuration to enable to enter a snipe on an FP auction definitely works, for weeks/months now no problem ! |
|
The curious thing is that most of the time 2.5.2 it still works perfectly for me. But, sometimes it isn’t working correctly. When not, relaunch or reload sometimes fixes it. |
|
Ugh, just missed two auction snipes because they went bonkers, the dreaded currency mismatch issue (when of course everything was in dollars). Hoping for a resolution soon… |
