Follow-up, I have it happening for a PayPal enabled non-USD
auction. They<br>
messed with the order of the fields again. :-(</p>
<p>I can find a fix tomorrow (it's 2:50am and I have to be at work
tomorrow<br>
morning) but it's going to take a new release to get working for
everyone.<br>
I'll throw a beta link on this ticket when it is ready, and that
should be a lot faster than it gets to general availability.</p>

because the current stable version is a different version number.
Ignore that for now.</p>
<p>It's really important that you let me know of any oddities in
behavior that you see out of this pre-release version. Thank

<p>Like I mentioned before not a single non PayPal auction works
with the current version. Yesterday even some auctions with PayPal
didn't work, strangely enough some of the same seller did and some
didn't. Couldn't make out a difference. Will keep you posted.
Thanks for looking into that problem!</p></div>Yeti88tag:help.jbidwatcher.com,2010-06-01:Comment/180079572012-10-27T15:09:02Z2012-10-27T15:09:04ZSome non-US-currency auctions still show up as FP in 2.5.2<div><p>Here's one with PayPal that won't work: 350630167240. Most of

<p>Tried some of this seller's other auctions as I was typing the
above, now I can't even get any of the many auctions that worked
before to show up in JBidwatcher. :-(</p>
<p>Things are getting worse and worse...</p>
<p>BTW: Not only can't I add these auctions to JBidwatcher I'm also
being logged out from eBay, at least the user name in the upper

@mutron3k - Because eBay operates on a 'rolling deploy' basis; they
deploy 10% of machines with a new version, see how they behave, how
folks use<br>
them, if it affects purchasing, etc., and then roll out to 25%,
50%, 75%,<br>
and 90% over the rest of the week. At least they did something
similar to<br>
that a bunch of years ago.</p>
<p>So a few hours prior, you may have gotten a 10% server with a
new version,<br>
new pages, etc., and then after a cookie refresh, or something
similar, you<br>
got onto a set of servers (the 90% that hadn't been deployed to
yet) that<br>
were showing the slightly older pages.</p>
<p>I'm working on fixing a few parsing problems, but my existing
code is so<br>
dense with 12 years of eBay changes that I'm very near to throwing
out the<br>
auction parsing code, putting out a version that works for all the
auctions<br>
I can straightforwardly test, and have folks report errors with odd
listing<br>
types to me so I can fix them.</p>
<p>There's code in there for eBay formats that almost certainly
never happen<br>
anymore, several technology revisions ago, and unfortunately it's
hard to<br>
know which ones are which. Thus my idea of starting fresh...</p>
<p>We'll see...</p>

<p>I also do believe a fresh start is the best you can do given the
many patches and fixes to make older eBay changes work. Happy to
hear that you're working on a new version! Will of course help to

<p>Good luck and let's get JBidwatcher working again! Maybe even
better than before. ;-)</p></div>Yeti88tag:help.jbidwatcher.com,2010-06-01:Comment/180079572012-11-11T10:55:53Z2012-11-11T11:25:37ZSome non-US-currency auctions still show up as FP in 2.5.2<div><p>Greetings,<br>
This isn't an 'official' release, it's a pre-release to see if it
correctly fixes the problem with eBay parsing...</p>

<p>I haven't tested this extensively, except to determine that it
fixes some parsing problems, and the startup problems on Oracle
Java.</p>
<p>Please let me know if you run into any issues! This is doubly
important, because I want to shift to releasing this as soon as
possible, but I need positive or negative feedback quickly!</p>
<p>Thanks muchly, and best of luck with your auctions!</p>

<p>so good to hear your focussed on it!</p>
<p>I did run the new pre under<br>
W7/64<br>
Java 6.0.301.5<br>
(thats the version of java.exe. If any other versionnumber is
needeed, lezt me know. Noob Ralf talking ;-))</p>
<p>I had the same issues than with the last stable version.. Todays
log is attached.</p>
<p>It did not import 34 of 35 my ebay items. It did import this
one, 300812114165, and it imported it not as FP but regular as it
should do, even with propper bidcount.</p>
<p>Dear Morgan, I do hope I have been a tiny bit helpful and wish
you all the luck in the world.</p>
<p>all the best<br>

2.5.3pre3 is not <em>quite</em> the same as 2.5.2. I removed the
concept of a<br>
'backup server' entirely, and now item loading, bidding, etc., all
happens on either ebay.com or ebay.co.uk, chosen by a checkbox in
the eBay<br>
configuration in JBidwatcher's configuration manger. It defaults
to<br>
ebay.com if your locale is US, Canada, or not given. Everybody
else<br>
defaults to ebay.co.uk. I do this because eBay has an unpleasant
habit of<br>
hiding items (that are perfectly valid, but don't accept PayPal
payments)<br>
from the ebay.com (US) site. I used to detect this on ebay.com and
fail<br>
over to use ebay.co.uk only in the circumstances where it was
necessary,<br>
but eBay turned off my ability to detect it, so now you have to
choose (or<br>
let JBidwatcher choose) via which of those two servers to
bid/get<br>
items/etc...</p>
<p>(To be clear, JBidwatcher still supports the same number of
sites as it used to, and in fact virtually nothing external has
changed. All items<br>
are, as always, handled by bidding on one of the main sites which
contain<br>
all items for all sites.)</p>
<p>I've tweaked a few more things, nothing major, and will be
trying to push<br>
an 'unstable' build soon, as that might get more attention than
the<br>
occasional pre-releases I've been pushing up here.</p>
