[quote="raayyf"]Again, because the item was relisted. But there is more to this. As Gixen failed to bid for me the first time round, I too woke up early Sunday morning (here in Australia) to place the snipe bid manually this time along with Gixen. Having tested up until confirmation I thought my snipe would work. Also paid Gixen subscription for the extra mirror. So waited for the final seconds but my manual snipe bid also failed and was shown a dialog which I didn't fully read as I refreshed the page -- my bad. Is Ebay stopping my snipe bids? Number for item was 188990454186.[/quote]
