I have been having problems with my ebay accounts. Too many saved password on CHROME as well as Google has caused conflicts. Now all of my scheduled bids have disappeared when I deleted my saved password. Chrome has GIXEN under the category of NEVER SAVED. Do I have to start over again and create a new Ebay password and leave the saved GOOGLE password as wel las the CHROME saved passwords blank?

Gixen does not need your browser or it settings at all. It submits your bids from its' own servers without referring back to your computer. It does however need to use the credentials that you use to log in here in order to subsequently log into Ebay to place the bid at the end of the auction.

Gixen does save your snipes with a primary key that contains both your id and your password. Your credentials are not stirred separately from the snipes, this is deliberate, so that once the snipes are deleted Gixen does not even retain enough information to log into your account on Ebay.

If you change either your id or your password, when you log in again with your new credentials, Gixen will not find the snipes you set up with the old ones. The old credentials will fail those snipes that you set up with them since they are no longer valid with Ebay.

So yes, you need to set up all your snipes with valid credentials every time you change them.
