#1177 Doesen't bid, just prepares snipe and waits until it ended.

[Anonymous]

My problem is the following: Jbidwatcher doesent't bid anymore. It just doesn't fire the snipe. A few seconds after the auction ended it will cancel the snipe, because the auction is reported as ended.

I've set my snipe time to 7 seconds, but I never hand any problems with that.

I even synced my computers clock via ntp and the jbidwatcher clock via ebay before bidding, but it had no effect.

Here's an example from the error log:

I have same problem - recently when I set up a snipe (on ebay.co.uk) with version 1.02 on xp, it doesn't snipe (even though I have set the snipe substantially higher than the final bid, and snipe time to 30 seconds) - just reports as below:

Tue Mar 04 21:00:03 GMT 2008: Cancelling snipe, auction is reported as ended. (1) Tue Mar 04 21:00:03 GMT 2008: Cancelling snipe. (1)

Wed Feb 27 22:30:02 GMT 2008: Cancelling snipe, auction is reported as ended. (1) Wed Feb 27 22:30:02 GMT 2008: Cancelling snipe. (1)

Can I say what a great program this is - I have used it a lot over the last couple of years and it has saved me money. I will happily donate some time or cash to it's development. Keep up the good work!
