Mark,

I completely agree. Since this is a common problem I should distinguish failures from each other and provide more information in that error message.

Cupid · Posted: Sun Dec 29, 2013 11:11 am Post subject:

Yes, I would tend to agree Daniela...

Because this support question happens so often, for this same reason, a suggestion for improvement could be for Gixen to detect that an Ebay auction id represents a Buy It Now only item and, when it does so, the error message could reflect the problem more precisely.

daniela · Posted: Sun Dec 29, 2013 6:17 am Post subject: d'oh

It happened to most of us once or twice.....

I think if possible, error (1) should be more verbose. It may be confusing to new users.

I just got this message again. It has happened before; once when I was editing a bid and it deleted my auction (unbeknownst to me).

Could not add this item (301045396642)(1).

mario · Posted: Fri Dec 20, 2013 8:44 pm Post subject:

I added it with no issues. Have you changed any default settings on your settings page? (e.g. target setting, etc)

Also, try again after some time, sometimes there are temporary issues at ebay that may prevent fetching item info.

Unable to add item when pasting full link address to Gixen eBay Item Number input block.
Item number only pastes ok.
Appears eBay has made the link address longer [shorter links ok] than Gixen can handle for some items.

Hi, there are a couple of items I'm trying to add. This is one. The other one was already added, and I was modifying it and it gave the same message.

kooriflag,

I've tried some of those without any issue... my Gixen Settings have a Target site of the United Kingdom, what is yours?

kooriflag · Posted: Sun Dec 01, 2013 5:16 pm Post subject: Could not add this item

Yesterday I had six numbers that could not be added and I don't know why?
I added one myself and won it so the snipe does still work but I don't know why it has singled out certain numbers. I have logged out and back in and tried to add them several times with no success. Can you help, please?

etinet69,

Please provide at least one example of an auction you can not add.

In this case it may also be useful if you could tell us what your target site is on the Gixen Settings page.

Same problem for me - I'm presently unable to add any item to Gixen. Have never had this problem before in over two years of use, so must be a website issue. I've tried four different item numbers in the last 20 mins!

mario · Posted: Tue Nov 05, 2013 8:46 am Post subject:

No, bids cannot be sent blindly without knowing important details such as auction end time. For snipes that were added before this problem that's possible, but you cannot add new snipes until this functionality is restored.

zmisheva · Posted: Tue Nov 05, 2013 8:38 am Post subject:

Hello,

Is it possible to enable bid submission, because at the moment we can't use Gixen?
Probably a temporary solution to blindly send the bid would be fine.

BR

mario · Posted: Tue Nov 05, 2013 8:33 am Post subject:

It seems that ebay is having issues at the moment. Gixen receives responses that look like: "The eBay function or feature you have requested is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."

This is only when trying to display listings. Snipe submission seems to work fine.

I will be monitoring this in the following minutes and hours, but at this point it seems waiting is the only thing that can be done about it.

I received the same error. Decided to try 'Import Watch List' instead. Entire watch list displayed as 'ENDED' with really high 'CURRENT BID' amounts. Very strange.

Hello, I report same problem with not being able to add an auction to given (i use paid mirror as well). The eBay is set to Germany, auction is in Germany as well, shipping worldwide as provided by seller. Any news regarding what's going on?

dvdgremlin

I'm having the same problem adding an item to gixen.

my profile settings were USA when I am based in UK and it worked previously.

changed profile settings and logged out and back in. still a problem.

I added item to watch list and added that to gixen and it shows it as ended with a stupidly high final price.

Item No. 141103022803 - got message about unable to add this item just now; 10am, EST, 5 Nov. Tried to add several times, other items too, same error message. :(

Cupid · Posted: Sun Nov 03, 2013 12:27 pm Post subject:

The style of the web-page is often held separately from the html source and supplied separately to the browser that is to display it, for this reason it is not surprising that occasionally the page is displayed all wrong when the style sheet fails to get to the browser or it interprets it incorrectly for some reason.

I have also had this happen more often with Ebay recently... though, as you say, other sites or not immune from exhibiting the same symptoms.

It isn't something that I think would affect the operation of Gixen though, since I think that it works with the html code and not the style... which only really affects how things are laid out on the page, important though that is when a human is using a site.

I am not having a problem randix, Sunday evening is the busiest time for Ebay though, so Ebay is sometimes slower to respond at this time.

Can you provide example auction numbers, please.

randix · Posted: Sun Nov 03, 2013 11:08 am Post subject: me too...

I'm also unable to add auctions today, same message as discussed above

Newbie12345 · Posted: Tue Oct 29, 2013 2:35 pm Post subject:

Ebay is glitching like hell last 2 days which has nothing to do with gixen.
Auctions sometimes open in a weird layout and a refresh is needed to make it visible again.
Also I am unable to delete any items on my watchlist (which is now full).
I just hope ebay fixes it soon..

mario · Posted: Tue Oct 29, 2013 12:59 pm Post subject:

It's not related to the browser, it seems that ebay had an intermittent problem.

diane423af1

Problem resolved now ... could not add any new items using Mozilla Firefox as a browser. Went back to using Internet Explorer, and everything working fine now. Either a temporary issue or a browser issue of some kind .....
Thanks for your attention, in any case!!!!

Hello,

I tried to edit a couple of items today to raise my bid, but got this error message:

Could not add this item (380751456293)(1)

Could not add this item (141097468591)(1)

Both items were already in my Gixen account, but now are deleted, and I can no longer add them. Also, I cannot seem to add any new bids for other items today. I keep getting the same error message.

One item, which is on auction now with eBay, and slated to end in over 7 hours from now, is displaying as ENDED, with a current bid of 704.00. The item # is 380751457022, and it's current bid price is 8.00.

What is going on???

mario · Posted: Wed Oct 16, 2013 12:54 pm Post subject:

calicovalley, I added both items you noted, it was probably a temporary issue. Please try again now.

Cupid · Posted: Wed Oct 16, 2013 8:29 am Post subject:

sweet*tpie,

I am able to add 151144033225, I have my target ebay site set to be the United Kingdom, so you might wish to try that on this occasion.

calicovalley,

The same for 400589132143 and 321229187368, so you may want to try that as a temporary work around, I have not tried to add them with a target as the US ebay site... so Mario may need to do further investigation into that.

calicovalley · Posted: Wed Oct 16, 2013 7:40 am Post subject: Could not add item

10-16-2013, 10:40 AM central US time ~ Ebay items # 400589132143 and # 321229187368 won't add to my snipe list. I tried logging out & logging in again, to no avail.

It looks, from the logs, that this was a temporary ebay issue. Can you please try again and let me know if you get the same problem?

It has nothing to do with mirror, it's unrelated. Thank you for subscribing nevertheless.

williarob · Posted: Fri Oct 11, 2013 11:39 am Post subject: Seems to be working now

Don't know if this is just co-incidence, but after paying the $6 for the mirror service I was able to add my items.

When I tried to edit an item it was deleted and when I tried to enter a new item (271293516821) I was unable to with (1) after the error message and item number.

diddydonkeykong64 · Posted: Fri Oct 11, 2013 11:19 am Post subject:

Yes, same problem here - this has happened with about 20+ items I have tried to bid on today and, like you mentioned, it adds a (1) in brackets at the end of the item number.

stee41

me too, I get the same message for item no: 281182273608

for some reason it is inserting a (1) in brackets after the item number, does this normally happen?
