jBidWatcher is a Java-based application allowing you to monitor auctions you're not part of, submit bids, snipe (bid at the last moment), and otherwise track your auction-site experience. It includes adult-auction management, MANY currencies (yen, pound, dollar [US, Canada, Australian, and New Taiwanese], Swiss Francs, and euro, presently), drag-and-drop of auction URLs, a unique and powerful 'multisniping' feature, a relatively nice UI, and is known to work cleanly under Linux, Windows, Solaris, and Mac OS X from the same binary.

What's New
Version 2.1.6:
- Remove Mature Audiences from the eBay configuration display. It’s my #1 support problem for user having trouble logging in. It’s still accessible from the Advanced Configuration setting, as ‘ebay.mature’ (without the quotes), and it’s described in the FAQ.
- Fix a longstanding bug that you couldn’t really change username/password while running JBidwatcher; you had to shut it down and restart JBidwatcher. Now it takes effect immediately!
- Fix another longstanding bug where on a bid, JBidwatcher would forget who the seller was, replacing them with the high bidder’s id, and thus items would fall out of the selling tab.
- Some price detection improvements.
- Handle eBay’s new URL format.
- Don’t stomp on user-entered or previously-correctly detected shipping amounts.
- Sometimes updates would appear to stop, usually for newly added items, and items wouldn’t move to ‘complete’ after ending.
- Better handle the system tray on Windows with Java5.
- Drag an image onto a listing to replace its thumbnail with that image.
- Seller-ended auctions weren’t being recognized as ended.
- Hopefully improve sleep-detection and handling.
- Failing to load the tray.dll (as on Windows 7 64 bit) shouldn’t cause the program to fail to start up, and should fall back to Java6’s system tray code if possible.
- Lots of changes for debugging and testing.
- Improved scripting interface.
- Small improvements to thread safety.
- Lots of refactorings and cleanups.

Currently it is only implemented for eBay, but it is abstracted suitably to work with any online auction site with a minimum of changes.
It is under active development, and issues are quickly responded to. Bug reports and feature requests are always welcome, as are praise and complaints.

Does not work. I tried it for the second and last time.
"Snipe apparently failed, as the auction cannot be bid on anymore...." What the f...? 10 seconds before ending of the auction?

Great.
I cant understand why some complaining the look&feel of the app.
It is ok and good to handle !
For an maybe better look&feel you have to buy $$ shareware - thats it.

eBay changed a few pieces of their pages and as a result, JBidwatcher 1.0.1 is not currently working; I have a fix in the source tree, and will release it as soon as I can confirm that it works in the majority of cases. Thank you very much for your patience!
