Thanks; I'm not sure what you mean by issues with 'Selling DB'?</p>
<p>I haven't really had the time to focus on JBidwatcher in the last few years. Java isn't really getting EOL'ed, though. It's still being developed by Oracle, and even if it was, the latest versions of JBidwatcher include the runtime embedded in the app, so it doesn't care about your OS version of Java.</p>
<p>I can appreciate the point of being concerned about data/password breaches, but I recommend you look into <a href="https://www.gixen.com/faq.php">https://www.gixen.com/faq.php</a> and check "Do I have to give away my eBay credentials?" which might ease your concerns a little. I have a lot of respect for the guy who runs Gixen; we've interacted a few times over the years, as some of the few people who've developed widely used sniping tools.</p>
<p>That said, JBidwatcher should still be working, as far as I know, so if you're having trouble launching it, let me know what's happening and I'll try to help.</p>

<p>Any chance JBid can be updated to stop the finished item poisoning that is occurring after unsuccessful auctions thanks to eBay close auction search redirection? The other thread has the URL tag that seems to help avoid it, I <em>have</em> noticed that if an item has a bid listed that either does not win or fire because it is too low, the redirected item shows up with the time remaining and bid still attached. I haven't tested that it will fire, but it is entirely possible jbid will fire the bid on the forwarded item. Perhaps not ( I assume it will still try to reference the original ebay auction #), but I haven't taken a chance, and it sure would be nice not to have to go clean up after it...</p></div>MEC2
