If I have a snipe set on an auction, do I have to leave my computer on with JBidwatcher running for this to work?
Yes. In fact, if you try to exit JBidwatcher when you have set a snipe to happen, it'll warn you about that.
The JBidwatcher software places the bid directly with the eBay site, when it's time; in order for that to work, JBidwatcher needs to be running, and the computer needs to be on, and awake. Computers that automatically go to sleep in such a way as to shut down networking, and/or not let software continue running, will interfere with JBidwatcher's operation.

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?
