According to the bidding page here it didn't end early because it was started at a price of ÂGBP 125.00 on 25 Feb 2020 at 7:00:14AM GMT with a duration of 5 days and finished at a price of ÂGBP 275.00 at 1 Mar 2020 at 7:00:14AM GMT exactly 5 days later.

Yes the winner does seem to have outbid themself with 2 seconds to go, we will never know how much they were prepared to pay with that bid.

So the most likely explanation is that Gixen was too late on this one, it is unusual for 6 seconds not to be enough for a bid to get through from the Gixen Main server to the Ebay server but it does happen occasionally and was the reason that the Mirror service was set up in the first place, to mitigate the consequences when an single server operation is not enough.

I know I have only been using the free service for years with gixen and never had a fail until now. I was watching the item and it got to 7 seconds and then suddenly the item just ended. I noticed Gixen was being laggy and I was unable to login during that time. It seemed there was also a bid at the last second if you check the list.

Would this be a fault of ebay? I am getting: AUCTION ENDED EARLY OR SNIPE LATE (although it appears the auction did not end late)

I have always benefitted from Gixen and its never let me down and just feel gutted at missing out on an item. I know some previous threads talked about ebay being down. Any way to avoid this?
