[quote="JSA"]Hi Thatâs is correct, I was referring to the authorisation. It says a approved till next year now. I also purchased the subscription. I have selected the Primary mirror as AU and secondary as USA. Is there really a need to use two different mirrors? How often does one fail? My preference is obviously AU as that is local. Is any location more reliable than the next? Iâve set it to 2 second timing in the assumption it my bid will be submitted in time (subject to bid increment rules etc). I found a website that indicated eBay blocked bids less than 3s but it was quite old and did not evidence the claim. Thank you[/quote]

As a result no domain is more reliable than any other, it just affects what jurisdiction the sale is made under when you win, but pretty much the whole world has similar rules related to the sale of items via the internet. <br /> <br />With respect to failure rates on a single server, it was estimated to be around 1 in 300 quite a few years back, I imagine it's actually much lower than that now, so with 2 servers it's the square of that rate, so pretty much zero failures.</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>JSA</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: Sat Jun 24, 2023 4:24 am<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">Hi <br />Thatâs is correct, I was referring to the authorisation.

If you don't bid on auctions like that and so you are most likely the only sniper, I'd say go for it. <br /> <br /></span><table width="90%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" border="0" align="center"><tr> <td><span class="genmed"><b>JSA wrote:</b></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="quote">I have updated the eBay link and it say thereâÂÂs a new expiry. </td> </tr></table><span class="postbody"> <br /> <br />I'm not exactly sure what you mean by this, I'm assuming you mean the authorization, that you set up in the second section of the Settings page, had to be set up again ? <br /> <br />That's all you must have, an active Mirror subscription (first section of the Settings page), which I assume you also have and is what you mean by </span><table width="90%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" border="0" align="center"><tr> <td><span class="genmed"><b>JSA wrote:</b></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="quote">with subscription</td> </tr></table><span class="postbody"> is also highly recommended.</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>JSA</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 Jun 23, 2023 2:08 am<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Is the 2 second snipe time reliable or too short?</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">Hi <br /> I was using another snipe software because of a convenient app however even if I selected 3 seconds the bid appeared closer to 5s. <br /> <br />Iâm trying Gixen again with subscription and I see an option for 2 seconds. How reliable is the 2 second snipe with a gixen subscription? <br /> <br />I prefer to bid as late a possible but is gixens servers and so forth fast enough to bid with only 2 seconds left? <br /> <br />Also, I have not used gixen in 3 years at least and my credentials expired.
