Strange behavior

[sparks]

Before I explain the problem, I just wanted to thank you for this amazing service. It is truly great!

The problem:
I entered these four snipes a couple of days ago for the German ebay site:

261184916164
261184913692
261185162302
300877374463

User name: sparkster64

Although the entries showed up when I logged onto Gixen at home, during the day at work when I checked a couple of times, no snipes were listed. I figured it was just a fluke from accessing through the work computer since the snipes showed up again on my home computer.

However, I got home this evening after the first two auctions were over, and though I saw on ebay that my first bid had been too low and the second one got outbid the very last moment, when I logged onto Gixen, everything was gone again, including the two still open auctions. I decided to reenter the last two open snipes (one with a slightly higher bid) and added a new snipe (390561475298).

That was a couple of hours ago, and now after logging on again, my four original snipes are listed again! The one bid that I had changed is still at the original amount, and the snipe I had added is now gone.

Pretty strange, huh?

You are entering two slightly different passwords, and for some reason eBay (and thus Gixen too) is accepting both of them.

I will make all your scheduled accounts appear under the same username/password combination. If you log in and see an empty password list, do not enter any snipes under that login. Email me instead, please.

My mistake, it's the same password, just encoded differently, as you used gixen.com and gixen.com/de, so different interfaces.

Until I get this fixed, you have to pick one and always use that one.

I use a password manager synced over Dropbox between home and work. Maybe the problem is because I use an English keyboard at work and a German one at home, and the automatic typing of the password ends up varying slightly due to the different mappings. Though I'm not sure how that would explain me getting two different results this evening on the same computer. I can't really get my head around that.

Thanks for help, Mario, in any case.

Ahhh, missed your new post while writing my previous one. I'll keep that in mind -- thanks!

No problem - I recommend that you log in to the one you will no longer use and delete snipes from it, then log in to the one you will use and re-enter them, unless already there. Thank you for reporting this issue.
