Good software for free, 31 December 2007

Reviewer: nochkin Star Member

Nice interface (although some things are not really clear if you just started).
I like the idea to have it multi-platform. Some error messages are a little confusing, but not much and make sense anyway.
It's better than some commercial solutions.

It could be a promising software ... if the author kept it updated, 17 March 2006

Reviewer: jbssm Junior Member

This utility has lots of nifty bonus, like bidding in groups and adding comments to every auction.
The problem is that it's in a eternal beta stage and everytime eBay changes a bit their site it stops working.
Besides that, sometimes it just misses the auction (it happens a lot, about 10% of times) and I thin k the problem is that it doesn't keep track very well of eBay time.
There is a problem also that if you have lots of auction in your list, the software starts to get extremely slow to the point you can't do anything (even in a Powermac Dual 2.0 GHz).
All in all, some new features would be nice, like for instance the ability of choosing the currency, but mainly I would be glad if it just worked.
Verdict: If you have a macintosh or linux it's your only option, if you have windows, then go for something else.

easily the best sniper I've used ... and it's free, 30 December 2004

Reviewer: rich_phil Pro

JBidWatcher is a very easy, very intuitive and fairly feature rich sniper.
You can have multiple searches, with multiple folders, while adding auctions is simple and straightforward.
The software is OS-independent so you can run it on Macs, Windoze or Linux and it covers every eBay site.

I'd give it ten out of ten, but five out of five will have to suffice.

The Company Says

JBidWatcher

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 MacOSX from the same binary.
