Also, I didn't notice that these items were grouped that closely until AFTER the auctions ended and I tried to figure out what went wrong. Had out-of-town company and was in a hurry to just get the bid placed without doing 'due diligence' I guess. Also forgot this particular high-volume seller typically uses a bulk listing tool and has many, many auctions only one or two seconds apart. <br /> <br />I'll pay more attention next time. But nice to know 20-second difference "might" work. <br /> <br />Thanks, Mario.</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>mario</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 May 27, 2012 8:09 pm<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">Auctions ending only a few seconds apart is definitely a problem. There is a warning not to group items ending within 2 minutes of each other (have you seen it?). Once they are are in the execution queue, Gixen will try to cancel remaining snipes in a group, but there is no guarantee it will succeed. If only a few seconds apart it almost certainly won't. 20 seconds or more, it probably will, but no guarantee on that. The only completely safe time is 2 minutes.</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="row1"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>MusicalMan</b></span></td> <td class="row1" 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 May 27, 2012 7:29 pm<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Contingency Group Bidding error (didn't cancel second item</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">I bid the following two items under "Contingency Group 1" because I did not wish to purchase or pay shipping on the second item without the first.

Would this one have worked 3 seconds apart had I set the offset to 3 seconds rather than 10, or is there no way to use the group features with auction timed this closely together?</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>
