I received an 'unknown error' bidding or sniping on an item? What happened?
The most common answer is that eBay changed something, and JBidwatcher was unable to recognize the response from eBay. JBidwatcher keeps error pages, until the program is shut down. You can view them (if you haven't shut JBidwatcher down yet) by choosing the auction which had an issue, right-clicking (or control-clicking on a Mac) and selecting 'Advanced', and then 'Show last error' to see what happened.

Sniping
- I assumed that the bidding would just take care of itself, that everytime I got outbid, the auto-snipe feature would bid for me AND snipe.
- What are the recommended snipe times (seconds before auction ending) to set for different kinds of connections? (Cable, DSL, etc.)?
- If here are no bids, will program still work and bid opening bid for me? Or, if I already have highest bid, will it just let it go and not bid up, so I will win?
- If I have a snipe set on an auction, do I have to leave my computer on with JBidwatcher running for this to work?
- What is the shortest time to snipe a bid?
