[quote="Cupid"]Yes, item numbers are required before a specific investigation can be made. If you could provide the status that Gixen gave the failed snipes after the auction had completed, then more explanation may also be able to be provided by other Gixen users. rickajho is correct that this can not be just because you have unpaid items, the restrictions that can be placed by sellers only relate to actual unpaid item strikes. Have you won other items recently from the same seller? Because there are also restrictions that sellers can put on their items that relate to the number of items that they are prepared to sell to any particular Ebay id.[/quote]

I have used Gixen for quite a while and never had this error showing before no matter how many snipes I have placed during a 24 hour period? <br /> <br />If I had unpaid item strikes on Ebay, I could fully understand that sellers have the capacity to block bidders with 2 or more unpaid item strikes over a 6 month period. But this is not the issue here as I have never had an Unpaid Item strike. <br /> <br />The problem seems to be that unless I am sat in front of my pc waiting for each snipe to finish, so that I can pay for it almost immediately, then the snipe program is failing :(</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 Feb 14, 2016 11:34 pm<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">Yes, item numbers are required before a specific investigation can be made.
