[quote="hay.jude"]Hi Mario, Thanks for this - I actually tried to reply earlier but wasn't able to reply to this thread (must have done something wrong). However...I've got the same problem again - here's the content of the Gixen post auction email: Item: 320860547361 Title: Vintage Salvatore Ferragamo white patent leather ballet shoes - size 9.5 Status (main): HIGH BIDDER Status (mirror): HIGH BIDDER Your maximum bid: 52.90 Current price: 31.00 The winning bid was $53.90 so I was out-sniped again. It's not a huge problem, just a bit annoying if I get the Gixen email thru first and think 'woo hoo'! Cheers, Judy.[/quote]
