I see your snipes just fine. Are you logged in to the correct account? Please email me if still having this issue.

You won this one for sure. Is it possible that you have multiple ebay accounts, and that a wrong one was linked to Gixen?

The only time Gixen looks at your public IP address is when you are re-authorizing on eBay. However WiFi extender should not affect this, the publicly facing IP should be the same.

I looked into this, I think I discovered the problem. Please let me know if you notice this again.

I added it with no issue by doing watchlist import. Can you please email me and include details - your username, etc.

Sean,

Thank you for reporting this problem, it's fixed now.

The problem I see with your account has nothing to do with subscription, which is fine, you have pay-per-use subscription. The problem is - your ebay authorization has expired.

Not sure when you last checked, but the issue has been resolved since my last post.

Please try again now, I believe the issue should be resolved now.

There is an issue, looking at it. Please give me some time.

Can you please provide more information, e.g. item id for which bid was not placed?

Can you please email me? Include your username and the item you tried to add.

I just used the extension in Chrome and added a snipe with no issues. I am unable to replicate the problem.

Please use the link on the form that offers this, place it on the page, then submit it. The link is different for every user.

I eliminated this balance for your account.

Aside from occasional technical issues / bugs, there is no policy difference between placing bids directly on eBay or through Gixen. If you can't place a bid directly on ebay.co.uk you won't be able t ...

Refunds issued, contact me on support email for details.

There was an issue today that affected the front-end, which was resolved. No snipes failed. My apology for the inconvenience.

Working on it. Snipes are still executing.

eBay is asking you to verify your account.

You need to verify your account to bid or buy again.

If you can contact the seller, that's the way to go as seller can then contact eBay. In fact, it's the seller that suffered the most damage here.

This listing had a retracted bid of 122. See https://www.ebay.com/bfl/viewbids/405144907049 and scroll to the bottom. This prevented your bid from being placed.

This is not a problem, but can you please email me and include your Gixen username?

Gixen obtains this time from eBay. Gixen itself is not using the same interface as you do. eBay used to show this information to end users as well, not sure why it doesn't any longer.

Please email me and include your username. Emails are working, but are sometimes filtered out by some mail providers.

It's recurring, cancel it on the Gixen settings page if you don't want it to auto-renew.

I have no idea who owns that repo, it's not Gixen's.

Email me, maybe I can help, maybe not, depending on what you want to do.

At the moment, one of Gixen's front-end servers is causing login requests to time out. We are working on resolving this.

Mark explained it well. Please email me, I can cancel one and put another one on pause until you use what you already paid for. Payments not older than 6 months can also be refunded.

Johnny,

I just looked and I don't see that email. Can you please re-send? Or let me know what your username is here. I will try to find that transaction in the meantime.

My apology for the issue ...

This is still a very rare occurrence. I know it may not look that way when it happens to you, but it is rare.

It was 57.75 bid, so it was not early. Gixen can't place snipes that early by design, it never happened in almost 18 years.

What exactly happens? Can you make some screenshots and email them to me?

eBay 2-step authentication should not prevent you from re-authorizing or using Gixen.

You are right, I was convinced that feature was there. I will see that I add it, that shouldn't be too complicated.

I cannot replicate this issue. Can you please email me and include your Gixen username?

The download option on the history does exactly that, there is pagination in the download.

335398035088 and 235569059273 are in the database, your bid was too low.

The only one I don't see any trace of is 335398037538.

It is - I had to switch to a stand-by server that had a replica of the database. Unfortunately the replica does not have the \"sent email\" flag marked.

It's a minor inconvenience compare ...

Please try again now.

I expect this will be resolved in an hour or so.

Confirming that there is an issue, working on it.

The main hosting facility seems to be down. The mirror server is still executing snipes.

I looked at this, it looks like these are called \"vignette\" ads, and Google added them on their own. I disabled them now, they are indeed annoying.

Can you please let me know on which pages this happens? Take a screenshot and email it to me.

I haven't changed anything, this was not a problem before. But Google keeps changing things.

Please email me and include your username and I will cancel it for you.

One of Gixen servers was having a reputation issue (who knows why, as I never spam users). I moved the service to another server, and it seems to work fine now.

Canceled and refund issued. Come back when you bid on eBay again.

You probably need to update your ebay authorization, not your subscription. These are different things. You can update your ebay authorization on the Gixen settings page. This does not cost anything.

I'll see what I can do to make these subscriptions options more visible.

Please email me and I will provide you with a reset link. Include your username in the email.

It happens too often that Gixen emails are bounced by email providers, despite Gixen never spamming any ...

Hi,
I dropped you a message 2 days Ago but I didn't hear from you

I see a message sent 7 hours ago that I just responded to. My apology for the issue.

Re-install the autosnipe add-on.

You can still snipe by copy-pasting manually after logging in to the web UI (or importing the watchlist), the autosnipe extension only makes it easier.

Sometimes paypal notifications (to Gixen servers) can be late. This is very rare, usually they arrive within seconds of payment. Please email me and include your username.

You are correct, it was down intermittently due to problem in one of the facility, but it did not last too long, an hour or so. The main Gixen server was not in this facility, and snipes were executin ...

Deleted without an issue. Not sure why you had an issue you did, possibly some browser add-ons that caused it.

Please email me and I will provide info from the logs. Then you can contact eBay.

I recommned that you watch this youtube video, it explains it very well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hULqbynsO-Y

Can you please provide me with the item id? I will check if eBay provided more information on the restriction. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't.

This should be resolved now, please try again.

This should be resolved now, please try again.

I am aware of the issue, looking at it.

Stripe is just a payment processor, you do not open an account with Stripe. Enter your card, pay, and you are done. It is not hard at all.

Yes, but only on the Gixen settings page, web UI. Login, click on \"Settings\" and you should be able to find them right below paypal payment options.

I think you emailed me about this... if you use Windows 7, that could be the problem. There are no updates for it 4 years already, and this includes outdated SSL root certificates.

Let me know if you notice any other issues.

Can I assume this issue is not going to be fixed?

No! I will fix it, but it took a backseat to some other issues. Thank you for reminding me.

Unfortunately not yet, it will take some time to resolve.

It's weird indeed, I haven't seen this before. I would not be worried exactly, as I don't see this often at all, but, again, it's weird. My best guess is that eBay had an issue at the time.

Just re-authorize Gixen using the ebay account you want linked. See https://www.gixen.com/blog/ebay-third-party-authorizations/

I'll look into this, just give me a few days please.

Mark, this is correct, I was able to replicate the problem.

I am looking into this. Note that this does not affect the functionality of Gixen, snipes will still trigger and work fine.

I just got a notice from eBay that this was a bug and that they fixed it. Let me know if you still experience this issue.

I do, but some email providers filter it out. Gixen also displays a warning in red bold letters 10 days before authorization expiry.

This has nothing to do with mirror subscription or payment of any kind. eBay authorization is a very different thing from Mirror Subscription. It's a permission you give on eBay to Gixen so that it ca ...

There is no autosnipe for smartphones, but there are apps. Use it, it's pretty good - you can search ebay right from the app.

Can you please send me (by email) the csv file you are trying to import? I need it to replicate the problem.

All of these issues should be resolved now, and mirror is executing snipes again.

If you still see any issues, please post them here.

Mobile apps should work again now.

I expect that mirror will start executing snipes again within the next few hours. In the meantime the ...

An update: mirror server is dead, moving service to another server, need a bit more time, likely no more than another half an hour for the web UI to be functional again.

Mirror server is down, main is still executing snipes.

Working on it. If you need to cancel your snipes, the only way now is to invalidate authorization in your ebay account.

I contacted eBay about this, the problem lasted for about 3 hours last night. It may take them a few days to respond however.

Yes - the currency used is always the currency of the listing, whatever it is. Once you schedule a snipe, you can see the currency of the listing in the \"current price\" field.

It can't be the same. Are you using password managers?

You must be using a different password. Reset it by using https://www.gixen.com/forgotpassword.php if unsure what it is, or if you use a password manager of any kind.

I can't access these images. Are you talking about parentheses in the item title, or in your comment?

I will see that I add one, I agree this would be helpful to avoid this.

Yes, as Mark said please provide more details and I will look into this.

Yes, just put them in the same snipe group. Use regular groups, do not use contingency or multi-win groups (these have to be enabled on the settings page anyway).

Please try again now. this was my mistake that caused the issue with the mobile app interface. It should work now.

The same underlying routine is used for both, not sure why you see a difference. How large is your watchlist? Gixen supports watchlists of size up to 1,000 items.

Well, that's good to know. But kind of rude!

Sorry if it came off as being rude, that was not my intent. I sincerely feel bad that you spent a lot of time making this functionality.

This is completely unnecessary, you can simply enter the complete item URL and Gixen will extract the item id. You should have asked before investing the efffort.

You placed a maximum bid of 332.55 with Gixen some 18 minutes before auction end. I understand that your intent was to type 232, and not 332, but that's not what you really did. Typos happen.

It sounds like the final update of the price failed. This is not often, but it happens sometimes. It does not change the outcome.

How are you accessing Gixen, through the web UI, or an iphone app?

It sounds like you imported your watchlist, but never edited it to set a non-zero maximum bid.

I can't find your account or your bids based on this forum post. Can you provide more info - e.g. item id for which your snipe failed?
