System Status

Updates will be posted here.

20251112 – rates have been increased, you should see better performance

20251112 – oops, a security update broke portions of this site.

20251112 – We are planning a system change to improve throughput and speed up item delivery even more.  Please adjust your filters to select a category channel for each filter.  “All channels” support will be going away. For best results, also add a category number to each filter if you only want to monitor one category.

20251112 – BINSniper coming back soon.

Extended downtime – v4.8

The viebuy.com site is now ready.  We are waiting for eBay to increase the limits for the app.   Our prior limits were not migrated to the new eBay service, so the app has already burned thru the small default allotment they give for new apps.

The site sould start working automatically once the rate limit is completed.

BINSniper Sidebar will have to go thru Mozilla review, which should begin by 24 April.

 

 

 

VieBuy 4.4 released

VieBuy.com is now running version 4.4

This update enables the option to include Auctions with Best Offer when searching for BIN listings.  This option has no effect when searching for auctions or All Listings, since they are already included.

Items found by this feature will have Auction: added before the title.

eBay has forced Best Offer on some auction listings without the seller’s prior consent, so buyers may object to offers in some cases.

eBay does not currently allow auction listings to have both Best Offer and Buy It Now, so these listings will only display an option to view the item without a buy button.   It is possible that both options could be available if eBay forces the Best Offer option on an auction with Buy It Now set.

If the version number displayed at the top of the page is not 4.4, refresh the web page to run the current version.  You may need to clear your cache it still doesn’t load the new code.

Negative keyword searches

The normal keywords OR syntax is

case (black, blue, red)

which will find items that include black OR blue OR red in the title.

Some users have been using this OR syntax for negative/exclude keywords. (doesn’t contain black OR blue OR red):

case -(black, blue, red)

We recommend that you use this single word format for maximum forward compatibility with eBay since the group format has not always been supported:

case -black -blue -red

The two formats are functionally the same. Our system and eBay currently support both forms.
