Nev, FYI -- it's small thing but I've noticed recently that he # of bids is often incorrect. For example, in Auctionsieve it may say "-" bids but I go to the eBay site and it says 4 bids.

Could you give me some example searches?

I've been recording AuctionSieve results and have noticed the same issue. In many cases, AuctionSieve reports "-" and eBay shows that the item was "Sold". Example, if you search for Item number: 250970128053 you'll see that the item sold for $659.98.

250970128053 Brand New Apple iPhone 4S 32GB Black AT&T GSM No Contract $659.98 $659.98 - insitu2005 1326443000000 1326559292064 2012/01/13 03:23:20 2012/01/14 11:41:32

My records show that this error occurs very frequently, and as a consequence we cannot tell if an item received zero bids, one or more bids and did not sell, or received one or more bids and sold.

Is this problem specific to the watchlist?

No, I am specifically referring to data in the "Price History". I haven't followed the data in the "Watchlist" closely because I've assumed that "Watchlist" data would be incorrect if the resulting "Price History" data is incorrect.
