Examples:
A listed eBay.com end time is "Feb-06-06 17:11:39 PST", but Baywatch puts it in my calendar on June 17th, 2006, at 11:39.
A listed eBay.ca end time is "06-Feb-06 18:57:39 EST", but Baywatch puts it in my calendar on June 18th, 2006, at 00:00.
So until this is resolved this program is of absolutely no use.
To the developer: it would be useful to show the end date in the Baywatch window so we can make sure it's the right one before adding the event to the calendar.
i think you´re right with your assumption.
The country of the ebay site you visit must suit the country settings in the system preferences.
For example when you are looking at ebay.com, then you must set USA as the region.
You can find it here: System Preferences -> Country Settings -> Format -> Region
I admit it is a little bit bothering for people whose system language is different to the country of the ebay site they visit...

P.S.: Thanks for the hint with the end date. I wrote this one down...

Thank you for this freeware.
I will try to solve this and hope I can manage it in the final version.

Hit the tab key or the enter key when you typed in a new time difference and then click the refresh button. This should work for now...
I soon will release an updated version.

If someone has gotten this version working, please post your success.
I have testet it on 10.5.2 with Safari 3.1 and it worked.
Can you please specify your problem.
Intel or PPC?
Which eBay Country (ebay.de, eBay.co.uk etc.) ?
What message is displayed in the main window?
Thanks for your comment

In searching for an update, a previous comment led me down the right path. When I re-installed the OS, some location settings were changed so trying to add an eBay.COM auction wasn't working. Adding eBay.CA auctions is working.
Hint: sometimes having an ebay.com/yada/yada auction in the front window will work simply by changing to ebay.CA/yada/yada. I have no idea if this will work for ebay.fr, etc.
