I just updated my Jbid from 2.5.3 to 2.5.5 and now i notice that
the multisnipe is not working...<br>
I get the message that multisnipe is disabled in this version, as
the underlying high-bidder detection code isn't currently
working.<br>
this realy bugs me, because i usualy bid several (same) items at
once, now if i win 1 item, i have to manually cancel the other
bids.<br>
In the v2.5.3 you could do a multisnipe from the taskbar, and this
worked great for me, even with the fixed price issue.<br>
I just set the 2-click to snipe.<br>
Anyone have a solution yet or is it better to re-install v2.5.3
??</p></div>Stoffie1974tag:help.jbidwatcher.com,2010-06-01:Comment/311983002014-01-19T17:35:22Z2014-01-19T17:35:22ZMultisnipe not working in v2.5.5<div><p>Yes, disabling multisnipe was really hard for me as JBidwatcher
was one of the first sniping tools to have it.</p>
<p>Unfortunately the previous version sometimes couldn't correctly
retrieve the high bidder, which meant that it wouldn't recognize
that you'd won, so it wouldn't cancel subsequent listings.</p>
<p>This could result in the software winning more than one item,
which is a very serious problem.</p>
<p>I felt an obligation to disable it until I could feel it would
work better. That's not to say that future eBay changes won't
break it again; I can never guarantee it'll work, but I owe my
users my best judgement on this.</p>
<p>Getting high bidder detection working reasonably is one of my
highest priority tasks for getting a new release out.</p>
<p>I'm really sorry that it's not working, but I hope you
understand why I made that choice.</p>
<p>Best of luck with your auctions!</p>

Even if that entails a small risk of not bidding, which I would happily accept, it would avoid the danger of winning multiple auctions.<br>
Thanks</p></div>Tony
