JBidwatcher
JBidwatcher is a free eBay tool that allows users to monitor, track, snipe and bid on auctions automatically. It was designed to help collectors, resellers and casual eBay users manage multiple listings without constant manual refreshes, with features including bid sniping, auction tracking, price monitoring, and alert notifications. The app was cross-platform and popular among power eBay users, but development has been discontinued and the app is no longer maintained.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionJBidwatcher has been discontinued by its developer and is no longer supported or maintained. Although the RoaringApps database indicates a macOS version with a universal binary that "runs natively on Apple Silicon Macs," the search results clearly state the app "is no longer working" and user reports on AlternativeTo describe it as "NO LONGER WORKING." This suggests the universal binary claim may be outdated or based on an older release candidate that was never fully stabilised for production use. Regardless of its architecture, the app will not function properly because the eBay API it relied on has changed since the project was abandoned, and eBay no longer permits third-party auction-management tools of this kind. The app will stop launching entirely when Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (late 2027), but it is already unusable today. If you need eBay auction management, use the official eBay app or website, which offer native bidding and auction tracking for macOS. Professional resellers managing high volumes should consider third-party auction management services like AuctionZero or MarketGrader, which integrate with eBay's official API and run as web applications on any Mac.
