[quote="mario"]I checked the database, and this was the only snipe that got this message at the time. Mark is right, we have no idea why this happens, and ebay seems reluctant to fix it. They may be doing system changes at the time, or some maintenance tasks that cause it, who knows.[/quote]

I get it myself quite regularly when serching for items on eBay via the auction number. Obviously its a problem eBay has internally. <br /> <br />Personally I do stay away from the auction pages while gixen is bidding, just in case the number of users accessing a page does slow it in some way.. but the fact I've never had gixen encounter this problem is probably not related to that. <br /> <br />I'm intrigued as to why you are watching an auction so closely and yet not actually doing your sniping manually... is it because you expect to get more problems with your internet connection when bidding manually?</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="row1"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>allhaildawg</b></span></td> <td class="row1" 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 Dec 30, 2007 10:54 am<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: EBAY ERROR: PAGE NOT RESPONDING (1)</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">Gixen apparently failed to submit my bid and returned the following error: <br />EBAY ERROR: PAGE NOT RESPONDING (1) <br />for item: 140193501984 <br /> <br />I read some of the other posts about this issue. With seven seconds left in the auction I pressed F5 to and refreshed my ebay browser window. Could this have affected Gixen's ability to submit a bid? This is the only reason that came to mind. <br /> <br />Any insights? <br /> <br />Thank you.</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> </table>
