Is anyone else having a problem with Auction Sieve getting confused about Auction End times? Mine will mark an auction as "ended" in the Watchlist and even move it over to the Price History tab when it still has several hours to go .... It just makes up its own end time? On others, it might say there's an hour and change left, when there is really something like 10 hours left. This all seem to occur on auctions with less than 24 hours remaining. Sometimes if I check the checkbox and refresh the items, they repair the info -- sometimes not.

Also, store auctions with BIN - Auction Sieve often replies with "unknown" in the 'Time Left' column.

This has been occuring for a month or so, before eBay changed their selling pages ....

Since I sort my Watchlist by end time, it is quite frustrating .... Just wonder if anyone else is having this problem.

Yes, I'm having the same issues.

Nev, I hope you're OK -- you been very quiet of recent.

Almost the same symptoms here - some odd results for end time, many "unknown".

I find auctions only get moved from the watchlist to price history if you close and then re-open AS, while it remains open they are only copied. I think the problems are down to ebay changes, there is no field for "time left" now on what were ebay shop BIN auctions.

But personally these issues don't stop me using AS.

I think Nev is probably concentrating his efforts on AS 2.0, which I'm much looking forward to!

Edit - I'm also getting odd results for Price - quite a few "(You can also:Watch this item)" either on their own or after a valid price e.g. "GBP 5.99 (You can also:Watch this item)".

Now AuctionSeive is not picking up bids or high bidders.

I can't use this program the way it is. Too bad - this is great software when it is working right. I'll keep checking back to see if it gets updated. Meanwhile, I have to find another way.

New beta is out.
Let me know if there are any more issues.

Yes, unfortunately the item detail page for Buy it Now items doesn't contain any information about end dates so they'll still show up as Unknown.
