I checked the eBay bidding history, and my bid does not appear. The auction ended with six bids from two bidders. <br /> <br />My Gixen Mirror subscription and eBay authorization are active, and both servers are configured for eBay UK. <br /> <br />Could you please check the server logs and explain why my bid was rejected? I am particularly concerned about whether the UK Buyer Protection Fee or eBay's minimum bid increment may have caused this discrepancy. <br /> <br />I use Gixen regularly and would like to avoid losing future auctions because of the same issue. <br /> <br />Thank you for your assistance.</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> </table>
