well all i can say is: You get my positive feedback. A+++++ Excellent, professional, quality "opera widget maker". Keep it up
Thank you
A suggestion for next version: includes the ID of the top bidder. I like it but I'd like to be able to tell at a glance if I'm winning the item.
"A suggestion for next version: includes the ID of the top bidder." Done !
Extremely useful! Thanks
I dont understand how to configure...
1. Go to eBay auction service. 2. Open your favorite auction. 3. Copy Item number, fe. 180029874587 4. Run eBay watcher widget 5. Go to config panel (lower right corner icon) 6. Paste Item number to the first empty edit box (eBay auction numer 1) 7. Set refresh interval (form 7 up to 9999 seconds) 8. Switch widget to normal mode (again lower right corner icon) That's all
Any way for us to enter our user information and get all our auctions / watched items configured automagically? EBay has an API, and there are existing widgets that do this with javascript code embedded etc: http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/18056 http://www.widgetgallery.com/view.php?widget=36776
This Widget is very useful. Is it possible to have the next auction on top? Also I noticed a display bug when the username of the involved ebay user is too long.
This is great! Thank you very much. I only wish that I didn't have to use a scroll bar in order to view all 10 auctions. Would be nice to see them all at the same time. Other than that it's awesome.
Super, super COOL! I'm fairly new to Ebay, and this is really useful to watch auctions as they end while you're doing other things. Love it.
seems that don't work.
It would be very cool, if the widget could - depending on the language setting in Opera - use localized ebay pages. An alarm for auctions which end soon would also be very useful
very very easy, nice and useful.......... many thanks to those like yourself who constantly make my computer more useful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice widget - but why does it not show the full item name field? I only get the first five characters. Also, the High Bidder and History fields do not return anything. I'm using Opera 9.23 under fully updated Win XP Pro.
I've managed to correct the issues identified by mefistofele (High Bidder now works as does number of bids). You can download the version here: http://files.myopera.com/amgr8ape/files/eBay_watcher%200.1.3b.zip Move to your Widget folder in your Opera profile folder and then open this compressed file from the Opera file menu. Note to the author: I made a few changes in the functions.js file. I didn't follow proper etiquette only because I needed this widget to work showing description, bids and highest bidder info on short notice. Once you perfect this excellent widget I will happily remove the file from the server.
nice, 0.1.3 works fine. Version 0.1.3b from amgr8ape has few issues with displaying high bidder (some html text displayed). Thanks for good work.
In germany the following error occurs: "this item is not available in the u.s." so, it is not working for me unless i look at items which are available in the u.s., worthless. bad.
Generally a nice widget but current price is not displaying for me. I'm using PortableOpera on a USB stick on a desktop with XP Pro SP3 which has McAfee for Small Business running on it. Could the AV being blocking it?
hmm do you mean the number that comes after the word ITEM and before VIEW ITEM? if so this is DEFINITELY not working for me. i just get the word IMAGE and price (nothing shown here) and nothing else. HELP
