Auction ended early--Gixen still shows it as scheduled.

[NewJohn]

Item # 222711400735 was ended early more than 12 hours ago, but Gixen still shows the status as "SCHEDULED" and that I am the high bidder--even after refreshing the screen. I need to know that the item is no longer available so I can search for a different item.

Hmmm... That auction ID won't come up when I search for it in completed listings. Could you check that the auction ID is correct?

In any case, we'll have to wait for Mario to have a look at how Gixen handled the auction being ended early. You can also email him at the Gixen support address as outlined on the Contact page.

The item # shows up for me:
ebay.com/itm/222711400735

The status is finally showing as ended--but much too long after the actual end of the auction.

John,

You are correct that completed items no longer appear in searches on Ebay using their item number, that changed a while ago.

Now you have to construct the URL as demonstrated in NewJohn's reply.

I imagine early termination is only picked up during a cycle of auction price updates, which are quite sparse when the auction is not due to end, they become more frequent as the original scheduled end time approaches.

It's tough getting old, Mark. It seems like just yesterday I could search for completed items with just the item ID.
