* Fixed bid result detection, errors are much more flexibly handled. * Fixed insurance detection, and detecting required / optional insurance.

He provided a patch, but I'd heavily modified the code he was patching, so I took the idea, but not the code. * Shipping now detects the amounts properly, thanks to a suggestion from Sylvain Gil. * Performance should be a smidge better, also. * CMD-, on OSX pulls up the configuration tabs, and the eBay tab is now *second* in the list, instead of hidden at the end. Next will be printing of the 'Information' blocks. * You can print your auctions lists! It's not VERY useful, but it does work. * Searches are always saved when the save manager is closed, this prevents crashes or machine shutdowns from losing new searches. * New tabs now duplicate the 'layout' (column widths) of 'main', instead of being set to useless default values. This allows users to create a 'Won' and 'Lost' tab, for instance. * Send To now works for completed auctions, setting them 'sticky', so they stay in their new homes until they're moved by user action. * Added a 'Nuke Tab' which deletes all the entries in the tab, AND deletes the tab itself. Sorry about the quick re-release, but I hadn't put the 'upgrade!' message out yet, so I decided to roll it in before the majority of users upgraded. It's been a good, solid, long time since my last release, and I think this one makes good strides forward.
0.9.3.1 should fix the shipping value being recognized (again!), and the 0.9.3 version fixed several problems with recognizing bids that either were not successful, or were but with some caveats (over/under reserve), and many other changes.

But since it requires your eBay credentials, make sure you use a unique eBay password that you don't use for any other online account, especially for PayPal, else you may run into security issues.JBidwatcher 0.9.3 was finally let loose, only to find that eBay had recently changed their shipping info block, just a tiny bit, which broke the new version. It's a useful, little tool that can really save you money. If you're an avid online shopper, you will appreciate jBidwatcher for Mac. During testing, we discovered that there can be a few seconds of lag depending on network conditions the optimal time is around seven seconds. If sniping, you can also set how many seconds before the end of the auction should your bids be placed. When placing a bet or sniping, you're given the option to set the shipping cost and decide whether to include it in the final bid amount. Auctions can be either searched for or added via the auction number or by dragging and dropping URLs.
The interface is uninspired but usable and includes several preloaded tabs and the ability to create custom ones. After installing the app we encountered a peculiar error where the OS thinks the app is damaged and recommends deleting it - we resolved this by allowing the system to run apps from unidentified developers. Other features include drag-and-drop integration for adding auctions right from a browser, the creation of custom tabs, customizable double-click actions, My eBay integration, and advanced features like setting up a remote database, proxy, or firewall exclusion. It can place bets on your behalf, seconds before an auction ends, a practice known as sniping.
