JBidwatcher

This Tracker item was closed automatically by the system. It was
previously set to a Pending status, and the original submitter
did not respond within 14 days (the time period specified by
the administrator of this Tracker).

Greetings,
I will try to put a warning in the next version, but this is not a bug
that I can fix, at the core.

JBidwatcher relies on the content of the item view page and the bid
completion page, using various words and labels as 'landmarks' to find
content on the page. There's simply no way I can support all the languages
on their native sites, so JBidwatcher uses the 'ebay.com' site for all
actual actions on eBay.

The 'browse-to' target country site is exactly that. I tried really hard
to emphasize that you are just picking the 'Browse target', and it's just
the 'browse to site'.

I'll go ahead and put in an extra line that emphasizes it further, 'Note:
Bids will be placed via ebay.com."

Here's a screenshot, so you can see what I mean:

But the underlying issue won't be fixed. It's a huge amount of work (and
maintenance of that work) for a problem that only affects users when a
transaction goes bad. The vast majority of transactions don't.

The eBay.de site disapproves of sniping software, has sued
eBay.de-specific software, and I believe this is their attempt to cause
trouble for users of non-country-specific software to bid on items listed
on eBay.de.

I wish you the best of luck with your auctions!
