[quote="mario"]mznxmznx, real-time refresh is only used to refresh the price, not the status of the auction. Status is fetched from Gixen servers. Now why is this a problem for you? When this happens there is nothing you can do about that listing anyway. A few hours delay (at most) before the status is changed shouldn't be a big problem.[/quote]

Actually, it does make a difference if I make a bid for an item scheduled 8 days ahead, then the bid is dropped, but I am still unaware of it because Gixen will not let me know. If I could know earlier, I could have search for other similar sales, or go for a "buy it now" option elsewhere. <br /> <br />I am not sure, either, if it's only a few hours delay. It's almost 5pm here but my Gixen Desktop Manager is still showing the bid as scheduled, even though we have been discussing this business since early morning.</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: Sat Oct 12, 2013 5:02 am<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">mznxmznx, real-time refresh is only used to refresh the price, not the status of the auction.
