[quote="Cupid"]You have already almost answered your own question... except for a little clarification... The yellow is for a maximum bid below what Ebay will accept as a bid... the grey and white just alternates to distinguish snipes from one another as you read down the page they do not have any meaning in themselves other than that you have a snipe scheduled. There are no other colours that I am aware of.[/quote]

Ebay change things slightly on a regular basis so such maintenance is constant for Mario... so a combination of (10 and (3) but not (2). <br /> <br />The GDM should update when you start it up, and at a regular interval specified by the options you choose in it. The website only updates periodically every few hours (possibly more than 6 hours), the process of fetching snipe values for all snipes is quite resource intensive, hence the delay on the server... The GDM uses your own computer to get the values, so can do it much more often, that is one of the pro=primary reasons people use the GDM.</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>Ramona</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: Wed Sep 10, 2014 9:30 am<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody"><span style="color: darkblue">Many thanks for investigating, and sorry for asking so many questions, but was it because of (1) a bug in Gixen, (2) something that I had done wrong, or (3) just one of those glitches? <br /> <br />Supplementary question: The bidding has now gone up to GBP 1.25, but it's still showing on the Gixen web site and in Gixen Desktop Manager as GBP 0.55.

But what do the different shades of grey and white mean? And are there any other colours that I haven't encountered yet? <br /> <br />Many thanks.</span></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> </table>
