Mirror refreshing of bids

[mbshesperia]

How often does Gixen refresh the bid price? I thought mirror refreshed more often thandaily. My snip NEVER refreshes unless I edit my bid otherwise the only way I am aware of a bid change is to go directly to Ebay by clicking on the item

More than once a day... I would say every six hours or so... more often towards the end of the auction... but sometimes the update fails... perhaps for specific auctions that have something that is unusual on them causing Gixen to have an issue with the update...

So, please can you give an example of an auction id for which you have a snipe where the auction price is never updated?

High Bid / Current doesn't show the right value, it shows and old value instead, even using the Refresh Gixen Status button or or refresh the web page.

Example
171429894512 is showing 105.05 while eBay has 148.09

mciaffone,

I think you mean US $103.05 because the auction you reference never had a price of 105.05.

That apart... the operation looks normal when you note that Gixen servers do not update the prices in real time... all the bids that took the auction price up to 148.09 were placed in a very short period only a few hours before the auction ended.. it could well have been very close to the auction end before any price update was scheduled for that auction.

Using the Gixen Desktop Manager with its default settings allows your own computer resources to get up to date auction prices... however if you use the 'Update Gixen Status' feature you are asking for the values from the Gixen servers, which as already explained could well be out of date.
