Seller closes 50 auctions at EXACTLY the same moment

Tried to modify Mirror & Offset anywhere from 14 to 4 seconds remaining, but Gixen only bid on about 8 auctions.
Any suggestions?

You had 50 snipes all scheduled for the same second?

What was the status of those that failed after the auction had completed, both on the Main and the Mirror?

What has probably happened in the past is that the Main server has been prevented from logging in.. but the Mirror has still been allowed to do so, and place the bids.

Now you may find that Ebay has imposed sanctions against your id from logging in via both Gixen servers.

This would seem to be the sanction that Ebay takes against accounts that bid on too many auctions in the same second.

If you have that many ending in the same second, I would suggest it is probably better to bid manually, to be honest.

Hopefully last question on this-
To understand Ebay's rules, is a "6"Offset/"3"Mirror(6/3), the same to Ebay as a 3/6?

If you are placing multiple bids with the same seller, you might try to ask him to "stagger " his bids at least by a few minutes as you can not manually enter so many items at once. He doesn't have to know that you are using a snipe service. I did that once and my seller separated his auctions by a few minutes by just listing them a bit spaced out .This slowed things down a bit and I was able to keep pace with winning multiple bids on his site that ended all at the same time, or at least within seconds.

Placing 50 snipes that end at the same time is guaranteed to fail with ebay verification error. In fact, placing only 5 snipes ending at the same time with the same offset will certainly fail.
