Mike Yes, I've heard it takes too long for bidwatcher to get packaged as a .deb before ebay changes their site again. I had to compile it from source downloaded from the homepage on sf.net before it would work for me. Not too much different from downloading and installing jbidwatcher, except that you don't have to compile jbidwatcher for yourself.
