#481 Bidding failed but is listed - Mac OS X

[Petra Fey]

Hi,

I'm a new user. Bidding 'failed for unknown reason'.
Nevertheless, in the summary the bid is listed and cannot be
removed, and the auction does not update. This results in a
discrepancy between the actual bidding state in eBay, and the
JBidwatcher summary.

the log from 'show status':
(5743215293, BRAND NEW 20GB iPod - 4th Generation 20 GB from
Apple)
Mon Jan 10 09:55:59 CST 2005: Bidding $235.00 apparently failed
for an unknown reason. Check the auction in the browser, to see if
the bid went through anyway. (2) Mon Jan 10 09:57:54 CST 2005:
Bidding $240.00 apparently failed for an unknown reason. Check

Sniping worked fine!

Thanks -

mentioned above.

Noticed also that sniping doesn't really work. I got outbid by 21 sec,
though I had setthe snipe to 20 sec! JBidWatcher shows the item as won,
but it's not true. Here's the status report:

(5155474922, Apple Airport Extreme Base Station)
Sat Jan 15 21:09:08 CST 2005: Executing snipe! (1) Sat Jan 15 21:09:10
CST 2005: Successfully sniped a high bid on Apple Airport Extreme Base
Station! (1)

the times from eBay:
my sniping: 19:07:01 PST
the winner's bid: 19:07:22 PST

Greetings,
I have just completed a move to Seattle, and finally have my
primary development systems up and running again, just today.
Coming up to speed at my new job, and situating myself in my new
apartment, with fiancee and cat, all has eaten up every available
cycle of my time until just recently. With my primary dev
environment back up (and not rebooting every 5 minutes!), I'm
able to start to address some of the problems people have been
reporting.

I've been trying to debug with one hand tied behind my back,
effectively, recently. Hopefully with the new setup, and
everything coming live, I'll be better able to respond and fix
problems.

I apologize for my awful response time, recently. Ever since
mid-February, I've been effectively offline. I barely managed
the 0.9.6 release due to eBay's change at one of the worst times
for me in terms of net access, and it looks like I overlooked a
few things in the process. I intend to try and fix those up, and
start on older bugs.

Greetings,
Bugs filed before 1.0 and bugs without responders are being juggled in terms of priority (9 is highest priority). I'm raising bugs filed with a submitter, post-1.0 to P6. Bugs which are filed post-1.0, but without a submitter are P5. Before 1.0 bugs with a submitter are becoming P4, and pre-1.0 bugs without a submitter name become P3.

If the bug is still relevant, and has a watcher (i.e. you got notified when I changed this bug), feel free to bubble it back up again.

Email addresses in bugs are great, but I can't always respond via email. Sometimes, especially for duplicate bugs, I use automated tools (like I'm doing right now) to change status on a large number of items at once.

Thanks for your patience, while I try to pare back the bug list to what may actually still be in the program.
