[quote="rickajho"]If that happens, considering the max. offset for placing a bid via gixen is 15 seconds, by the time you realized gixen was having a problem placing your bid it would be too late to react anyway. There are certain things you can do to minimize the risk: Make sure you don't have a weak eBay password. And don't bid on items that all end at the same time (yeah - some sellers do that) or within seconds of each other. Those conditions send up a red flag to eBay. Of course eBay occasionally spazzes out, changes something in their software/web site, and that creates headaches for almost everyone - especially Mario who has to figure out what they changed. It's thankfully a pretty rare issue.[/quote]
