[quote="Cupid"]If you have paid $6 for a years worth of Mirror subscription, or have submitted a website that you own that contains a link to Gixen, and your snipe was not part of a group then it should be Mirrored.

You can tell by selecting the Mirror tab, after you have logged in, if the snipes appear on that tab, you can then follow what happens to them on that tab, as well as on the Main one.. since both servers run independently of one another the outcome can be different depending on which server you look at. One may have an issue with any particular snipe where the other has none. That is the idea of having the Mirror enabled on your account, as a backup if something does go wrong with the snipe on the Main server.

I am sorry that your question of a year ago remained unanswered, that is unusual, unfortunately I am not able to locate that post today.. (I have tried quite hard to do so, but without luck)... Anyway, the answer is that in practical terms it makes no difference which server has the highest offset.. it just means that the bid for the server with the highest offset is the most likely one to win, since it is attempting to place the bid first... most of the time that server will be successful in placing the bid and the server trying to place the later bid will be blocked by Ebay from submitting the same bid at a later time, which is not an issue since in that case the bid is already there with the best chance of winning the auction. Only in the unusual circumstance when the server with the highest offset fails to place a bid will the one from the other server come it play as a backup for you.

If the snipes are automatically cancelled you only have to edit them to get them re-enabled... however, without finding out what caused the issue, and fixing it, I would not advise doing that since they are just likely to fail for the same reason.

If you have the instructions for setting up the proxy and, with it in place, trying to bid manually on Ebay to see where the blockage lies for your account when accessing Ebay via the Gixen server, I advise you to follow them again... even if you have done so in the past. The error that caused your snipes to be blocked by Ebay, that was detected by Gixen, can only be replicated by you following those steps... yes the blockage may be temporary, Ebay may remove it without any action from you.. but equally, they may reintroduce it again at a later stage... you taking the steps necessary to remove the block is more likely to give you a longer term fix.

The fact of having auctions you have not yet paid for, has never affected any snipes that I have scheduled... if those turn into Non Paying Bidder strikes.. after prolonged non payment, then, yes, that does cause issues, with other sellers blocking you from bidding on their auctions... but that is a very different scenario.

The issue you have here is much more likely to be related to the amount of interaction you have with Ebay, and the number of locations that you access Ebay from, Gixen is one, presumably your home and/or work location another.. access via telephone networks might also be a way you increase the spread of your interaction... Ebay can monitor all that and if they regard it as too diverse, sometimes they will limit the access that an account can have from some, or all, of those different locations... until that is you go through the steps necessary to verify to them that it is indeed you accessing your Ebay account from those said locations.[/quote]
