This wouldn't happen if we were allowed to use eBay's API, which we are not. Since all sniping services work by imitating a web browser (by doing web scraping), we cannot pass certain blocks, such as captcha images. <br /> <br />These captcha images get triggered by various behaviour, and when this happens everyone is affected. I am doing my best to isolate things as much as possible (e.g. sniping is already isolated from signins), and specifically to detect users who do risky stuff and move their operations to a different server. However, sometimes it can still happen that signins don't work for a few hours or so. You cannot see it, but I am working hard on improvements to avoid events like this from happening. <br /> <br />Note that eBay can kill sniping any moment they wish to do so. I tried contacting eBay and asked them to work with them on anti-fraud measures and to allow us to use the API (there is no reason for anti-sniping bias), as I believe we have a common interest in this, but I haven't heard back as of yet.</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>Amazed</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 Sep 07, 2014 11:09 am<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">Mark - in my case, always a laptop <br />Over the last month - had about 3, maybe 4 evenings where this was a problem - last night was one of those <br />The next day - all good again</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>Cupid</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 Sep 07, 2014 7:00 am<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">Is this import being triggered from the web interface here or via the Ipad App? <br /> <br />Adding items manually is always a work around, but, agreed, it's not a convenient one when you are used to the import feature working.</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>Amazed</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 Sep 07, 2014 5:31 am<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">Sporadically, have been experiencing the same problem. <br />To overcome, I cut and paste the item number - which is slow if this problem arises on a busy day <br />Problem seems to go away by itself in hours, or a day</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>Kurrst1</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 Sep 06, 2014 10:57 pm<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Why can't I import my watch list from ebay?</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">Hi tried many times this morning to import list.
