Unfortunately it is a useless app that has not improved is issues for years now and it really shouldn't be like that because if it worked, there would good value here. My thousands of auctions that are archived should not be a big deal but it is - it always crashes, just a matter of when. Now it is within 1 minute, every time without fail! Deleting .plist file makes no difference. When I sought help a couple of years back from developer he didn't really know what to do.

Latest version is 1.2.11 - my copy was automagically updated when I launched it but there are no clues about what has changed and the website still says the latest version is 1.2.6. Presumably all the minor problems have been fixed but one doesn't get much confidence from the lack of info. Having said that, this has always been a great and solid product, and the developer in the past has been very responsive.

Hi, thanks for your report.

We fixed the search and snipe problems with version 1.2.15 released a couple of days ago.

Thanks again for your patience.

I was a long time JBidwatcher user, but for a while it seemed like you could never know whether the author had updated its interaction with ebay, so I went looking for an alternative and found Auction Hunter.

I was a bit concerned about paying for something when I had been using a freeware version for so long, but I have been really happy with the way it works.

I have been using Auction Hunter since it was in beta, and I have never had any problems with sniping. In fact, it works so well that I have bought tons of things I don't even need! I even have it set at 3 seconds and it has always worked for me. I've never had an issue with it locking up my Mac, and I can freely move my categories, auctions around without issue. In fact, I have all the auctions I've ever bid on or listed still stored in Auction Hunter. I also tried Jbidwatcher and a couple of others when I first started looking for auction applications, but I liked Auction Hunter the best and I decided to go ahead and buy it when it came out of beta. All applications have some bugs to be worked out, and it is important to note how quickly and effectively a developer responds. It sounds to me like this developer is trying hard to help you, JBSSM, but you don't seem to want it. I think you should take the kindly offered refund and go buy yourself something on Ebay that will improve your disposition -- with Jbidwatcher, of course.

Overpriced. I don't need the snipe function, so considering other free software, I'd pay $15... maybe.

This app is practically never working either properly or at all.
Presently it's not allowing to login to your account (and thus it's not snipping) since the 14th of January.
Also, as of today it's not working properly to get the data of the auctions (so, no time left and no auction title).
My advice is to just get the free program AuctionSieve or JBidWatcher to track the auctions and then bid manually (JBidWatcher is also not bidding but seems more resilient to eBay page changes and keeps giving the auction data correctly).

Auction Hunter is a native Cocoa application for OS X, built to make your life easier on eBay. It allows you to monitor auctions that you are interested in bidding on, or that you would like to simply observe and store for future reference.

Main features of Auction Hunter are:

  • Automatic bidding and sniping tools, that let you set your snipe amount for an item you like, so that Auction Hunter will place the bid with eBay until just a few seconds before the auction ends. This allows you to not attract attention to the auction, causing price to go up. You can also easily cancel or change the snipe when you like, before the auction ends, not risk anything.
  • Searching tools, that automatically let you to save and run the same searches on eBay, storing the results in user defined folders. You can also specify a time interval to be used to periodically run the searches. If new items are found, Auction Hunter will change the folder color, so you immediately know there is something new. New added items are also highlighted in yellow!
  • Thanks to a built-in powerful database, Auction Hunter allows you to store thousands of auction listings (with thumbnails too!) so you can search through all saved items and what they sold for, even for past auctions no longer available on eBay. If you like, you can also save the full content ofÊ the item's web page, and open it later with Safari for future references.
  • Auction Hunter periodically updates the information about the auctions you are interested in, and let you know at first sight what is going on, due to the use of colors and bold typeface. For example, a red line says that the auction received no bids or that reserve price is not met, while a black line means that the auction will sell, but not to you. A green line says that you are the high bidder. A line in bold face font, instead, means that you placed a bid on that item. Colors and bold typeface are combined to provide all possible auction status.
  • Auction Hunter provides support for all international eBay sites, and also automatically updates all the categories when you launch the application.
  • If you have more than one eBay user IDs, for example one for your hobby and one for work, you can use them at the same time!
