[quote="bidwisley"]Am trying to sing into Gixen. However, I Cannot use Gixen because my ebay username IS my email address. I tried to sign into ebay using my ebay user ID name with my ebay password, as Gixen pop up suggested but it will not work. The only way that I can log into ebay is with my email address and ebay password. When I try to put that same information into Gixen, Gixen tells me that I cannot use an Ebay username which contains an email address to sign in at Gixen (My Ebay username IS my email address) . The Gixon popup suggested trying to sign into ebay using my Ebay ID and password and I tried that at Ebay but it did not work. I cannot change my Ebay username without completely deleting my Ebay account and signing up for a new ebay account, which I do not want to do. How can I get around this? My ebay username to sign into my ebay acount IS MY EMAIL ADDRESS!!!!!!! DOES THIS MEAN THAT I CANNOT USE GIXEN? With all the sophistication of Gixen, I find it hard to believe that Gixen has this problem. Also, there is no place in my ebay account settings that allows me to change my Ebay username. The username that you establish with Ebay is your username for LIFE. You cannot change your ebay username. There is only a place where it allows me to change my Ebay ID once every 30 days, but that is not used for signing in to ebay. What can I do to use Gixen? PLEASE HELP!!!!! THANKS[/quote]

At eBay you can sign into eBay using your e-mail address
~or~
your eBay user name - which are not the same things. It sounds like the OP has these two things confused. Suggest they actually look at their eBay account settings and determine the difference between their eBay user name and eBay e-mail address.

I don't think Ebay can be remotely triggered to accept your credentials in the way it always has for everyone else. Now that you have found a valid way to log in to Gixen let's not worry about it.
When he snipe turns red it means that you are altering the details of that snipe... in the editable box, which by default is at the bottom of the page you need to enter the maximum amount that you are wiling to pay and then select the 'Modify' button on the right. That procedure updates the snipe as you want.
I don't really understand you last question... I presume Ebay sent you an email telling you that you had won the auction... you need to log into your account on Ebay in order to pay for it.

you guys are absolutely correct!!!! i just tried using my id name with password to log in and it worked!!!! it's odd though, because when I wrote my previous post, I had try to do that and ebay would not log me in without my original "Username", which is, as you already know, my email address. maybe gixen triggered something to let ebay allow me to sign in with my user ID from now on? whatever it is that happened, I am now very happy because i had just finnished paying for a mirror service but thought i was not going to be able to use it.
you guys are great!!! THANKS.
one more question, now that i am finally "in", can anyone tell me what to do with the "watch list" on my mirror service that i imported from ebay?
i see edit and delete buttons. when i press "edit" nothing happens other than turning it red. i am trying to figure out how to place my snipe bid in the box on my watch list item that has $0.00 in it.
by the way, I won my first snipe ever yesterday. Thanks Gixen!
funny thing though, my ebay user id is not showing me as the winner on ebay. why is that?

As 'Guest' wrote above, you can change your 'USER ID name' and 'that id can be used to log into Ebay'. On the page I am looking at ebay call it your 'User ID'.
That is what we are suggesting that you change.
Do not have your 'USER ID name' the same as your email address, this will not work anymore.
You can, of course, also change the email address associated with your Ebay account, we are not suggesting that you do that.
I have done both of these things, in the past.
What you can no longer do is have 'USER ID name' the same as your email address and continue to use Gixen.

Post subject: ebay email username login
Thanks for the replies. But I'm sorry to disagree with the both of you. You can NEVER change your USERNAME once you have established it. That is the name that you establish your account under, and you can NEVER change your account username once you have established it. Your username is PERMANENT and FOREVER.
You CAN, however, change your Ebay "USER ID name" every 30 days.
My problem is with my username being an email address, Gixen will not accept that to log in. But that is how I log into ebay. My ebay username IS my email address.

I agree with the above, you can change your credentials on Ebay.
I also answered on the other thread, but I think you are better off changing your credentials on Ebay first before pursuing contacting Mario direct, via email.
