[quote="stokebob"]Hi, I seem to be having a problem when I import snipes using a CSV file via the desktop app. I have both the website and desktop app main and mirror offsets set to 6 and 3 seconds respectively. However, when I import my snipes they all get imported as 6/6 off sets. This then has the knock on affect of a Gixen hitting the ebay captcha request if the the two mirrors are attempting to place bids at the same time (or at least this is what I've concluded from my testing). At offsets of 3/6 no issues, at 6/6 gixen returns the ebay captcha error (I have followed the help pages captcha proxy settings instructions for this). So is there any way to fix the mirror offsets on import or stop to captcha error when the offsets are set to the same? Has anyone had an experience with this? Greatly appreciate some help. Thanks[/quote]
