[quote="mario"][quote="alphacollector"]Mario, I did some reading around about ebay captcha and found some users said by changing their password to something a little more complex it stopped doing the captcha.

How strong is your password? I would make sure it's at least 8 characters with both letters and number, and no dictionary word. Change it at ebay and you shouldn't get this again.
P.S. Even if you passed captcha at Gixen, it's still questionable if Gixen would be able to place your bid at ebay. Most likely not.

Gixen is definitely getting a captcha screen when it tries to bid for your account. Some of those changes may have caused it, but I can't really tell if so, and which ones. If not a problem, provide ebay with a CC number (even if not used), they seem to be less suspicious when one does so.
I also cleared the hash of your password from the Gixen database - so you should be able to see this captcha when you log in to Gixen (and pass it). Sniping may still fail though.

Mario, youre fast!
I have not changed my password recently in a long time.
Only thing that changed recently; I posted an auction for sale and after it sold I had to change my ebay fee payment from a CC as it had expired to my paypal account. I thought that was the reason it didnt bid on auction 1. But when it didnt bid on auction 2 I became puzzled.

I just checked what happened - ebay is requesting a captcha code for your account. I don't know why. Is it possible that you changed your ebay password, and logging in to Gixen with the old one?
It's certainly a bug that Gixen did not display a proper error message - I'll see that I fix that immediately.
