Ebay-computer question/problem

[nolemmings]

I am currently bidding on 25 auctions ending within the hour. NONE of these have a working countdown clock. Why? Other items from the same sellers on which I am not bidding have the clock working just fine, but not the ones where I am bidding. I have noticed this before. Explanations? Better yet--any fixes?

Noticed the same thing. Thought it was just me. Might have something to do with their latest "if it ain't broke don't fix it" facelift.

Noticed it last night. You need to click the "one click bid" link and you will have a running clock.

Thanks Tbob. Hey, the Twins just got Matt Capps! Doesn't fill their greatest need, but given how many horrid bullpens I've seen this year, it's nice to be that much stronger.

you can always get yourself a sniping program and then you never need to worry about it

[nolemmings]

Had one, it failed--twice.

Todd,
Which service failed you?

[nolemmings]

John,

It was justsnipe, which had worked well for me for years.

Hi Todd. Yup, now if we could just get the starting rotation to pitch like they are capable we can win the Division and lose to the Yanks in the playoffs again. :( Oswalt would have been a great pick up for us (or obviously Lee).

Just checked the eBay closing lots and it appears they have the countdown clock fixed. :)

The clock dosn't seem to be working again, I wonder if e-bay is doing it to cut down on sniping...

[FrankWakefield]

eBay wouldn't do that... they would want as many bids as they could get. They wouldn't do anything to discourage bidding. They're not idiots.... well... maybe they are. Nevermind.
