This is probably another symptom of the same problem...
When I start jbidwatcher, I always get 11 pop-up messages saying:
JBidwatcher Alert
Snipe apparently failed, as the auction cannot be bid on anymore: {auction title}

Hi Morgan,
When I exit JBidWatcher I get this warning, even though there are no auctions at all listed on the "Current" auction tab/page of JBidWatcher:
Pending Snipes confirmation
There are outstanding snipes that will not be able to fire while JBidWatcher is not running. Are you sure you want to qit?
[ ] Don't show this dialog again.
[ OK ] [ Cancel ]
This is...

If I first set the snipe amounts for one or more auctions, and then select each of them along with one or more auctions which are already in a multisnipe group, I can click on "multsnipe" and jbidwatcher will add the new auctions to the multisnipe group, preserving the snipe amounts that I've already set for the new auctions... usually. The exception is if a new auction is in a different...

Oops, that's not quite right.
Here are the corrrected steps to get jbidwatcher "stuck"...
1) Center jbidwatcher on the screen
2) Select two current auctions in jbidwatcher
3) Right-click one of them
4) Left-click "Multisnipe"
5) Click on something else on the desktop, or the desktop background, to de-select jbidwatcher
6) Click the Jbidwatcher icon on the main task bar.
Now...

Thanks, Morgan, for explaining that so well!
What do you think about putting something into jbidwatcher to display the CAPTCHA and let the user enter the correct text to log in? Then if jbidwatcher just stays logged into eBay, it should work for the next 24 hours, at least, even if the account has been flagged. Right?
Regards,
-Dave.

Now see how long it takes for you to get "un-stuck."
(Yes, you CAN get un-stuck.)

Hmmmm... I got a reply from eBay to my complaint. They wrote:
"Please note that the bidders don't have to enter the verification
code while placing their bids..."
It sounds like they are claiming that they do NOT prompt for a
verification code while signing in, if you are signing in to bid
on an auction. That surprises me. But since I've never seen the
verification code prompt on...

I've not encountered this problem yet, but it appears to be a new eBay "feature" specifically designed to prevent the use of jbidwatcher and similar tools, which they apparently classify as "inappropriate use of the site."
http://pages.ebay.com/help/newtoebay/verification-code.html says:
"Entering Verification Codes

I don't see this behavior. I'm watching 19 auctions on a 1 GHz Win2K PC,
and it seems snappy.
However, I do see the whole machine slow down drastically from time to time.
The workaround for that is to use Process Explorer (from SysInternals) to
set the priority of services.exe to "Below normal (6)". That helps a lot.
I presume that means that one of the services is malfunctioning, but...

I noticed the same thing, that jbidwatcher no longer fills in shipping charges,
and I now end up having to enter them manually.
Thanks again for the great app!
Merry Christmas to all.
