Hi Estelita,
I have used a couple of things for the time. First, a person can
refresh the screen with F5. Then use the JAWS search to find the word time.
You will land near the E-Bay timer. One can do something similar by using
the refresh link or button on the E-Bay page. One thing I read said that
repeatedly refreshing can get a person in trouble with E-Bay but I have
been blessed with this not being an issue for me. One other thing you
probably already know is that E-Bay will notify you by E-Mail when the
auction is done and if you are the winner.
You probably couldn't guess that I love E-Bay! I think with the tight
incomes that many blind people are on that E-Bay can help them get more for
their money.
I hope this information helps.
God bless,
Mark

Thanks Mark, I'll try pressing B and shift enter, as the rests are
correct.
One more question please: what key to use to read eBay's time update?
Wile on the eBay's display, time is still the same, but when I get out and
back again, I can tell then the difference.
What I did is set my time count down, so I don't need to get out and back
and lose the item I'm watching.
Cheers,
Estelita

Hi Estelita,
I will be glad to explain how I place a bid. I may be running a
different version of JAWS. So, it may work a little different with
different
versions. However, I will give it my best shot.
First you will want to register as a buyer on E-Bay. Next a person
searches for the item they want to bid on. Once you are ready to bid,
enter
the maximum price you wish to bid in the box. With JAWS 10 and IE 8,
there is a
label right under the box that says place bid. On the next line is the
actual bid button. I recall several times when I was first placing
bids that I would press enter on the label and not on the button under
it.
Nothing happens if you press enter on the label. Pressing the letter B
should land you on the button. If enter doesn't activate the button then
shift enter should work.
Next, if you are not logged in to the site, you will be asked for
your
user name and password. Then you will be given a description of what you
are
bidding on and told the amount you said you are willing to pay. If all
this
information is correct, press enter on the conformation button. Your bid
should be accepted and a new screen appears showing your bidding status.
Hopefully you have a green check showing you are in the lead.
One side note. If you see an item for $0.99 for instance and you
placed
a bid for $5.00, the actual bid that E-bay shows may be allot less. This
is
because E-bay bids the minimum amount to keep you in the lead up to your
maximum amount. So, you may see the bid is only $1.05.
Happy bidding.
God bless,
Mark

Hi,
Can you please share us your steps on how you successfully sent your bid
at the right time, as I have not been successful on it yet.
I can type in my desired amount on the edit box, and press enter on the
confirm button, but it didn't work unless to click it with the mouse.
In this case, I need a sighted help to point the mouse ready for
clicking.
Thank you,
Estelita

Hi Kim,
I am running the latest version of JAWS 10. I was on E-bay
yesterday
shopping and bought several items. So, it is accessible. The only
places
I
can think of that might pose issues are there may be a capture image to
sign
up on E-Bay. Since you will want to have a PayPal account there may be
a
capture image there also. When you buy an item there is a place to give
feed
back and mostly a person just uses the space bar on the button that
matches
your answer. At the bottom of this form is a button that I always have
to
click with the JAWS cursor. These are the only JAWS specific issues I
have
run in to.
God bless,
Mark

I am using Jaws 7.0 and am wondering about EBay and this version of
Jaws.
Is EBay accessible? and are there any special things that are required
using Jaws.
Thanks.
Kim Kelly
