[quote="Cupid"][quote="smitty"]Not really sure what you mean by "registered", [/quote]

Successfully submitted and thus showing up on Ebay.

[quote="smitty"]Are you saying is that sometimes ebay is fast enough to catch that you already made a "first bid" and reject the "second bid" because it is identical?  Let me know.[/quote]

Yes, that is exactly what I am saying.

[quote="smitty"]In the past, I have always seen two separate bids appear on the "detailed" bid list on EBAY, as if I was two different bidders. This time there was ONLY ONE. [/quote]

The method by which bids are submitted to Ebay is now more closely integrated with Ebay, that may affect how often you see two bids in future, time will tell. It has always been the case that if one server is slightly later it gets blocked because Ebay does not accept two bids of the same amount from the same user submitted at different times.

[quote="smitty"]2. There appears that there may be some differences since on another (.net era) I received an "OUTBID" on the primary and "WON" on the secondary.  Why would there be this type of discrepancy with complete opposites?[/quote]

That does sound wrong, did you win that auction and what was the item number?

[quote="smitty"]On another recent auction, the status were BOTH "WON".[/quote]

That is normal behaviour if you did win, and the bids from both the Main and Mirror were successfully submitted to Ebay by Gixen... After a while the Mirror informs the Main if it has won... but that does not always happen immediately after the auction has completed.

[quote="smitty"]3. I do see more "red lettering" when some new entries have been made that contains something similar to (-1,1) in red with NO explanation.  Since the error occurs, I then need to confirm that the item has actually been entered, which takes more time.

This tends to occur only in items that I am simply entering for "tracking purposes". These are items that I want to received an "already entered" error if I enter them in the future and that I can "watch" what is happening to them when they close, since Gixen will provide me with a "losing" email.[/quote]

I do not recommend this use of Gixen, it uses scarce Gixen resources for no gain, and thus potentially degrades the service for us all. You can monitor auctions via Ebay. Gixen is not an auction management site, it is a sniping site.

That said please give examples of items that cause errors, if you would like it looked into further.

I presume that when you addressed the following question:

[quote="Cupid"]When logged into gixen.net, and you select the Mirror tab, is it showing your snipes?... Perhaps your Mirror status didn't get migrated across successfully ?

If that is the case you can use the Mirror Transfer Form, accessed via the Settings page, to drag it over to your new Gixen id.[/quote]

It did indicate that your Mirror subscription had successfully migrated since you have reported that both servers are providing you with independent status information.[/quote]
