Update:
Today, I set 2 "Contingency group: 1" snipes.
There are 8 unrelated snipes set between the 2 "Contingency group: 1" snipes.
(More snipes in between than when the glitch occurred.)
The 2 "Contingency group: 1" snipes end 24 hours and 40 minutes apart.
(A longer time than when the glitch occurred.)
Gixen worked perfectly. As soon as I lost the first auction, the second snipe was cancelled.

No. I never edited the second "Contingency group: 3" snipe. As soon as the seller raised the minimum bid on the first "Contingency group: 3" auction from $1 to $70 (far above my snipe amount) I assumed the second snipe would be cancelled.
Thanks for the reply and thank you for explaining one potential problem for contingency bids; editing later snipes after earlier snipes complete.

Did you maybe edit the second item after the first had completed, if so that would be a reason for this behaviour.

Post subject: Contingency Bid time limit?
LOVE Contingency Bids! Shipping is often a large part of the cost of cheap items. Contingency Bids allow me to:
⢠Only win items that I consider add-ons if I have won the one item I really want.
⢠Only win cheap, optional items when I will already be paying shipping for another item from the same seller.
Recently, a Contingency Bid failed to function properly. In the attached (Remove the dashes, follow the link.) screenshot 2 items are "Contingency group: 3". The 2 auctions ended 20 hours apart, on different days. I had 4 unrelated snipes between the 2 "Contingency group: 3" bids. I lost the first auction in "Contingency group: 3". (The seller changed the minimum bid price to higher than my snipe.) Instead of saying, "CANCELED" as expected, the second auction in "Contingency group: 3" said "BID UNDER ASKING PRICE" when it ended.
Is there a time limit between Contingency Bids?
Is there a number-of-bids-between contingency items limit?
If "No." to both of the above, why did my Contingency Bid fail to cancel the second item?
LOVING Gixen for years,
Allan
