[quote="vivi870930"]Hello Gixen Support, I have recently experienced multiple cases where my scheduled snipes failed with the message “AUCTION ENDED EARLY OR SNIPE LATE.” One recent example: eBay Item: 287605422556 Item: POP 1 Union Arena Release Event Winner Haise Sasaki BGS Pristine 10 Black Label My scheduled bid: USD 229.00 Winning price: USD 205.50 The auction appears to have ended normally with 25 bids, but Gixen did not place my bid. Since my maximum bid was higher than the winning price, I would like to understand why the snipe was not submitted successfully. This has happened several times recently, so could you please check the server/bid logs for my account and let me know what is causing these repeated failures? Thank you for your help.[/quote]

Would a longer offset help on the weekends? Or maybe in general?
No, typically when there is a problem - there is a problem, nothing helps. But to confirm, this is very rare.

Apparently Ebay had a bit of a wobble for a minute or so when your snipe was to be submitted.
It's a rare occurrence, you were just unlucky to hit this one.
Sunday evening is definitely the most busy time for Ebay.

I've had about two of these \"AUCTION ENDED EARLY OR SNIPE LATE\" in the past month.
Main shows \"AUCTION ENDED EARLY OR SNIPE LATE\"
Mirror shows \"AUCTION ENDED EARLY\"
Offset currently 6 and 3

When you say 'multiple' and 'several', please could you express this as a percentage of the snipes that you've scheduled ?
Are you a Mirror subscriber ? If so what offset are you scheduling for these snipes ?
Also if you have a subscription please can you check what status you are getting on the Mirror tab, is that also 'AUCTION ENDED EARLY OR SNIPE LATE' ?

Post subject: Snipe Failures – “AUCTION ENDED EARLY OR SNIPE LATE”
Hello Gixen Support,
I have recently experienced multiple cases where my scheduled snipes failed with the message “AUCTION ENDED EARLY OR SNIPE LATE.”
One recent example:
eBay Item: 287605422556
Item: POP 1 Union Arena Release Event Winner Haise Sasaki BGS Pristine 10 Black Label
My scheduled bid: USD 229.00
Winning price: USD 205.50
The auction appears to have ended normally with 25 bids, but Gixen did not place my bid. Since my maximum bid was higher than the winning price, I would like to understand why the snipe was not submitted successfully.
This has happened several times recently, so could you please check the server/bid logs for my account and let me know what is causing these repeated failures?
Thank you for your help.
