Hi There,

I just purchased the full Windows version and updated the key after timing out on the 30 day trial period. version is 1.1.4

I wanted to test that the snipe would actually occur so I put in an extended time for the bid time, 14400 seconds for an auction ending in a little over 4 hours.

Nothing happens when the appropriate time is hit. Also, putting a large seconds value into the Bid Time seems to cause this error to be created in the logs --

C:\Program Files\Myibidder\myibay.exe\threading.py:533: RuntimeWarning: tp_compare didn't return -1 or -2 for exception

On further testing this error might be unrelated...

See the screenshot for an example of the snipe dialogue.

So two things - what is the max Bid Time value? And if large times won't work, can we have a feature to 'Bid Now' in order to test sniping / response time, etc. This can be useful to come up with a good estimate of how much time to allow for an effective snipe based on the connection speed, etc.

Long sniping times like yours are not supported. I think the longer amount of seconds is 30-40 seconds or so.
Your connection speed does not matter so I see no reason for such tests.

The actual sniping time variations are usually within 1 second.

Thanks Sashka. I do think some way of testing a round trip snipe would be a good feature, especially for new users.

Thanks again
