Hi

Had two snipes with errors today on 2.0beta1, MacOS 10.5

First one shows an snipe amount in the Completed view of “(null x 0)” – the final amount shown for the auction is more than I sniped for. Show Information says “Snipped for null”

Second one closed at less than my snipe amount and the completed view shows a snipe amount of “*(null x 0)”, show information again shows “Sniped for null”

Cheers, Liam

Greetings,
It would be useful if you emailed your logs to me. I’d like to try and figure out what happened. Also, what currency are you bidding in, and if the listing has a ‘*’ next to the amount, as you describe, try and ‘Show last error’ in the ‘Advanced’ submenu of the context menu.

All this stuff would be helpful to diagnose what happened.

I will be trying my first snipe tonight with the beta, I’ll report here.

I also had a snipe fail with 2.0 Beta 1. My system is Fedora 8 x86_64 using Iced-tea java.

My bid amount was more than $5 above the final sell price and if I look in the complete auction tab I see my bid amount is listed as (null x 0)

I have saved more of the java output “stuff” Let me know if you need/want it.
