JBidwatcher sniping with ebay

Postby Retro Pedro on Sun Mar 11, 2012 10:42 pm

Does anybody using the above started having problems?
I've used JBidwatcher successfully for the last few years and this is the first time I've had a hiccup with it.
Basically, the 'Time Left' column is now flagging up as 'N/A' for the newest listings therefore rendering the sniping as a no no. What it seems to be doing is putting in a extended general number instead of the year ending numbers, i.e. 2012. Just wondering if anybody else is experiencing the same, or is it a glip just on my listings.
I have put the question to JBidwatcher forum and if I get a positive answer. I will put the info back on here just in case anybody could benefit.

I use auctionstealer Pete, thats always been reliable, and free for 10-20 second snipes, and a subscription for 1-2second snipes and group bidding.

Apparently "Identify it" is not the correct answer!

I just manually do it. Works most of the time. If I miss something I just live with it.

Snipers are a good tool if you cant be around for the end of an auction, or get drawn in and determined to buy stuff at any cost! :lol:
