[quote="fredmoulders"]Hi, Sniping item no. 230228323769 didn't work although my bid was considerably higher than the final bid. The status says "Network Error". I guess it doesn't have anything to do with bidding increments, not with the fact that the seller is from another country; I have sniped and bought from him before. Snipes placed on other objects within the same time frame were all placed correctly. Also, sniping item no. 200203864923 yielded an "Unknown Error (3)". When checking the log, I found that it was because of the impossibility of foreign bidders to bid on this item. I thought in this case one was supposed to see "Auction Restrictions not met" (or something...) Thanks for taking a look! Pieter[/quote]

This was indeed "bid under asking price" message, it's just that Gixen didn't recognize it because it's written in German. <br /> <br />I added it to the list of strings, you will no longer get "unknown error" for this outcome, but it's possible you will for something else. Reporting it to me is, however, the right way to fix these errors and I thank you for that.</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>fredmoulders</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: Sun Mar 09, 2008 2:04 pm<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">Thanks Mario, I'll wait and see. <br /> <br />BTW, I just found out that two other snipes both yielded "Unknown Error (2)"; 280205662543 and 380002259863.
