				For the past few days my "Scheduled Bids" view of sniped items does not reflect the latest (current) bid price of those items on e-Bay.  Do I need to change a setting to resume showing the current prices on items that I am sniping?
 
 
Thanks... |

				Gixen no longer updates the current price field dynamically: it is updated every hour or so as a batch process.  Updating the current price field with every page refresh was just too expensive.  So, if you really need to know the up-to-the-minute current price, you should place the item in your eBay watch list and check it from there. _________________ John

				bdawson9,
 
In practice, you should not care what is the current bid. It should not affect your snipe -- just place your max and let it go.
 
You either will get a good deal, or someone else will pay too much. Simple. |
