[quote="LondonImperial"]I placed a snipe for GBP 3.58 for the following item; 150733937022, and was outbid. Fair enough, it wasn't all that important. However, I noticed afterwards that despite being outbid on ebay, the Gixen screen (and the confirmation email Gixen sends me) both seem to think that I was the high bidder. It is currently reporting that the "current" price is GBP 1.77, and the the "status" as "won" - yet both are wrong. I have known the final sale price to be out-of-date before, but I've never noticed Gixen get the won/lost aspect wrong before. While the incorrect status is not a problem in this instance, I do use both the "group" and "contingency group" bidding mechanisms, and I suspect that if this snipe were a member of one of those, Gixen would have acted based on incorrect information on the rest of the grouped bids, so I thought this was best reported just in case.[/quote]
