The GDM should update when you start it up, and at a regular interval specified by the options you choose in it. so a combination of (10 and (3) but not (2). Ebay change things slightly on a regular basis so such maintenance is constant for Mario. I interpreted it that Mario had to make a change to fetching the number of bids in order to get it to work.

Jbidwatcher not working manual#

Is there any way that I can force Gixen to update, or will it just happen automatically and there's no manual intervention possible? Supplementary question: The bidding has now gone up to GBP 1.25, but it's still showing on the Gixen web site and in Gixen Desktop Manager as GBP 0.55. Many thanks for investigating, and sorry for asking so many questions, but was it because of (1) a bug in Gixen, (2) something that I had done wrong, or (3) just one of those glitches? OK, what happened here is that the number of bids was not fetched correctly initially, so Gixen thought 0.55 was the starting price with no bids. Many thanks - the item number is 271597126429, and there are already bids on it (including one that I placed manually for GBP 0.32). Let me know what the item id is, and i will take a look. Ramona, it would get accepted if there are no previous bids. (Don't know whether it is relevant, but I did have a previous - manual - bid at this auction at GBP 0.32, which has since been outbid). However, I have a GBP 0.57 snipe in Gixen (which would not be accepted), but it is coloured in White rather than in Yellow. It is currently at GBP 0.55, and the next acceptable bid by eBay is GBP 0.60. There is one item in my (test) list that I don't understand. There are no other colours that I am aware of. the grey and white just alternates to distinguish snipes from one another as you read down the page they do not have any meaning in themselves other than that you have a snipe scheduled. The yellow is for a maximum bid below what Ebay will accept as a bid. You have already almost answered your own question. But what do the different shades of grey and white mean? And are there any other colours that I haven't encountered yet? I've figured out that red is an item that I'm currently modifying, and I think that yellow may be items where my snipe is less than 1 bid increment above the current highest bid, or where I have no snipe. My question is - what do the different colours mean for the auctions on the Gixen site? (Alternatively, where is this documented so that I can go away and read about it?) I've been directed to Gixen and am very impressed so far, even if I miss some of the features that JBidWatcher provides.

Jbidwatcher not working free#

(No criticism intended - JBidWatcher is very feature rich, and is given away free by a guy who also has to keep a roof over his head and feed his family). Having been a very happy JBidWatcher user for many years, I have started looking for an alternative as the author seems to be having difficulty keeping up with the various changes that eBay keep making.

This solution allows you the bidder to have control over your bids and password at all times. Isn't there other `services' doing this? Yes there are other online tools, however how comfortable are you with giving your EBay password into someone else's hands? Let alone that service may or may not be keeping the security measures it should be and all it would take is a hack or a packet sniffer to compromise this security at any time. Why would I like to use this? Have you ever been out bid in an EBay auction only to seconds before the auction only to learn that someone else was interested in the auction and bid one dollar more than your maximum unbeknownst to you? Well, here you have a `backup tool' in which you can make reasonable bid on EBay (as you should) and a snipe bid and then you can avoid that 1 dollar more bid that will cause you to loose the auction. I would recommend the JBidwatcher for a nice GUI experience. JBidwatcher does a similar thing, though the difference here is that this can be easily ran on a server, for example in a crontab, in a set-and-forget point of view. Treating auctioning as an arms race of who has the faster script doesn't really improve things any.

Their system can be improved to help remove this last minute auction sniping advantage, and this should be done. This is a proof of concept and really I dislike the system EBay has now.

Out of getting real tired of all my auctions being sniped in the last 10 seconds I started this project of an open source auction sniper.
