jBidWatcher 2.0 - Monitor eBay auctions. (Free): "
jBidWatcher 2.0
jBidWatcher is a Java-based application allowing you to monitor auctions you're not part of, submit bids, snipe (bid at the last moment), and otherwise track your auction-site experience. It includes adult-auction management, MANY currencies (yen, pound, dollar [US, Canada, Australian, and New Taiwanese], Swiss Francs, and euro, presently), drag-and-drop of auction URLs, a unique and powerful 'multisniping' feature, a relatively nice UI, and is known to work cleanly under Linux, Windows, Solaris, and Mac OS X from the same binary.
Currently it is only implemented for eBay, but it is abstracted suitably to work with any online auction site with a minimum of changes.
It is under active development, and issues are quickly responded to. Bug reports and feature requests are always welcome, as are praise and complaints.
WHAT'S NEW
Version 2.0:
JBidwatcher 2.x requires at least Java 1.5. This is available for
Windows and Linux across the board, but it means that OS X 10.4 or
later will be required for the Mac. I feel comfortable with two major
versions back (So OS X 10.4 and 10.5, Java 1.5 and 1.6), as it
combines the maximum number of people who will be able to use it, and
a relatively usable development environment.
Fixes include (in no particular order):
- Bidding on items that are only visible on the non-US eBay sites should be more consistent (the error manifested as getting an error page which appears to be another login page)
- Snipes placed or cancelled through the web interface show up in the main UI
- Finally resolving a nagging problem with display configurations not being saved between sessions
- Multisnipes not firing, or seeing 'unsafe multisnipes' when there aren't
- Duplicate entries in the display should finally be eliminated
- Auctions that end, or whose bid amount changes, should also consistently reflect the latest state that JBidwatcher knows
- The .dmg for Mac users should have a link to the Applications folder, for easy drag-and-drop installation
- Large deletes should be possible again (the delete happens in the background)
- Better handling of eBay's bad HTML
- Multiple currencies are allowed in multisnipes (although it's a bad practice, and you're warned against it!)
- Double-click in the open space (where listings aren't) will clear the selection
--usbon the command line should work better now- eBay's habit of sending 404's for perfectly valid auctions has been partially worked around
- Only active listings are loaded during start up, everything else (completed listings) gets loaded later, in the background
- The Mature Audiences checkbox is now clearer about its use (and should not be used by non-US users; it will break logging into eBay)
- The default browser on Linux is now 'firefox'
- Under Mac OS X the JBidWatch.cfg file should be stored with the rest of JBidwatcher's files now
