[quote="Cupid"]If the issue is that Ebay have revoked the authorisation, for things like a user changing their password, Gixen only finds out when it tries to use the authorisation to place a bid. Ebay does not notify Gixen in that situation.[/quote]

You don't pay for it and it is administered from the second section on the Settings page. Ebay invalidates it after 18 months so this needs renewing at least once every year and a half. <br /> <br />This should not be confused with your subscription, which you do pay for, is administered from the first section of the Settings page and gives you access to the greater reliability of the Mirror server, unlimited snipes for a whole year and various other extra features while logged in to you Gixen account.</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>dburum</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: Fri Oct 01, 2021 8:53 am<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Invalid authorization</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">Re.
