I've lost auctions which I might have won except for latency from eBay, and I was live bidding. It happens and there's nothing that can be done about it. So even if you're live bidding directly with eBay, this thing may occur. It's just one of those things you kind of have to live with. Technology ain't perfect. <br /> <br />It's entirely possible for eBay to monitor network bandwidth and adjust auction timings accordingly, but it would be a massive undertaking and the gains would likely only be negligible.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>mario</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Sun Nov 12, 2006 5:04 pm<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">This is interesting - and it's quite possible... <br />Before today, incidence of Gixen being late was very, very low (1 in 500)... <br />If another sniping service failed as well, that might indicate ebay problems. <br />I might add additional code to Gixen - tracking ebay response times. That would probably shed more light on events like this one.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row1"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>tradeshops</b></span></td> <td class="row1" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Sun Nov 12, 2006 4:05 pm<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">Thank you for getting back to me so quickly. <br /> <br />Both of the auctions mentioned ran their full course. <br /> <br />I did have another bid set up with a competitor of yours for an auction that finished in roughly the same time period. It too failed to place my bid, which was greater than the eventual winning bid. I will not mention the competitors name directly, but I do wish their programme would just snipe. <br /> <br />So, perhaps there is a problem eBay way?
