Hi - relates to both Web base & Standalone versions. When I have refreshed any snipes on eBay Australia items, the currency symbol has changed to ? and the current bid is 0.00. The currency symbol in the snipe has also changed to ?. Will myibidder still recognise the the current bid on the item & snipe.

Sample items

A little bit of juggling and I changed my eBay Home setting from AUSTRALIA to UNITED STATES and refreshed....everything went back to normal & I can see all bids/snipe in the correct currency.

I again changed it back to AUSTRALIA & all my items on eBay Australia changed to ? & 0.00 current bid.

Something in the system or eBay Australia system?

Anyway I'll stay on eBay US as my home eBay.

Looks like some new changes on eBay's side.
I made an update to reflect that, so it should be back to normal.

Thank you for letting me know and including the item numbers.

I have the same problem in the UK.

635bmw,
Are you having the same issue for the same listings? Those listings look good.
If you are having issue with different item numbers, please always include the item number so I could check.

I am on UK eBay

I import my wish list and some of the items show the GBP currency just fine; and some show
? -1.00

Even after I refresh they still show ? -1.00. This applies whether I refresh the whole list or just them individually.
The ones that are classified or Buy It Now seem OK. (Yes, I know there is no point sniping them - I just import my whole wish list!)

The ones with the problem are SOME of the normal auction items.

This one is OK:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120996877115

This one is NOT OK:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150918312218

I am on version 1.1.4 (build 551) (currently unregistered)

. . continued.

I have done some experimenting to see how reproducible the fault is.

After refreshing single lines, it appears that the issue is with the refresh function. Sometimes refreshing fixes the problem (i.e. it shows the correct amount) and at other times it does not fix the problem (i.e.it stays at ? -1.00); and at other times it breaks the amount (i.e. it WAS showing the correct amount; and after refreshing it shows the amount as ? - 1.00)

A fixis urgently requested - please!

Should be fine now.
That does not affect the actual sniping anyway.

current bid not always refreshing in web interface as well as My Auction Information screen upon clicking on the Snipe button. This issue is random and inconsistent, I am not able to find any pattern.
For instance,
for item 221162086126 Curr.bid shows 36.99 while the real one is 77.00
for item 321035305332 Curr.bid shows 6.00 while the real one is 7.50

The refresh will not happen in real time, this is by design.
You have to click the "Refresh" button on the snipe page in order to refresh it.

Also, I see no problems with the currency symbol on those listings. Are you sure you don't see the currency as well?
