Keep getting \"Verification code required by eBay\&quo

dre · Guest

I keep getting this error "Verification code required by eBay, could not log in" even though I followed the steps to add the gixen proxy a couple days ago and placed a few random bids with it

I noticed this is only happening with 1 seller though and no one else.

Not sure if this is a gixen thing or not, but I lost out on about a dozen auctions because of this.

dre, can you please email me item id or your username? I will take a look at what happened.

were you able to look into it? I want to place some more bids today and need to know if I should use the sniper or not.

Thanks for your help

dre,

You had 10 or more snipes for auctions ending around the same time. This will almost certainly trigger ebay inserting captcha images. Please use different offsets in situations like this one, and everything should be fine. Do not have more than two snipes ending at the same time.

Yes, it's indeed new, it started happening a few months back, with varying frequency. eBay is tightening things to prevent fraud, and unfortunately this affects sniping services too.

so it looks like the offsets are working on bids that end at the same time. Unfortunately there are not enough offsets for me to choose from and I am forced to use the same offsets twice which doesn't help.

Is it possible to add more offsets so that we can bid on more than 6-7 items at a time?

Yes - anything from 3 to 15 seconds is now available to mirror subscribers, instead of only 3,6,8,10,12 and 15. So now the additional options are 4,5,7,9,11,13 and 14.
