This is getting serious now and will cost people money/bids if this isn't straightened out ASAP. Since approx 3am eastern time, there is NO access to the app from any platform/device. I have bids on stuff coming up that I wish to cancel because I won other similar bids, and now I have NO access to cancel them. Will Gixen still place those bids and cost me money I didn't want to spend? SMFH

It looks to me like the most likely way to be able to revoke the authority that Gixen has to place bids on your behalf may be to change your Ebay password on that account.

According to the Gixen FAQ, you shouldn't need to change passwords. Should be able to directly revoke the authorisation.

Quote:
Do I have to give away my eBay credentials?

No. This used to be the case, but as of August 2017, you need to register Gixen.com username and password, and authorize Gixen.com to place bids for you on eBay. You can withdraw this authorization at any time in your eBay MyAccount settings, or on Gixen settings page. While Gixen has no way of enforcing this, it is wise for security reasons that your Gixen password is different than your eBay password, especially if you choose the same Gixen username as is your eBay username.

That link doesn't work for me, can you provide a sequence of clicks on Ebay that will get you there ?

Something like:

My Ebay -> Accounts -> Security -> ...

Always remember this site is a one man show and that man has to sleep, has a life, etc. Outages are rare but you need to understand they will occasionally happen and plan accordingly.

Gixen already accommodates various group bidding scenarios including the one you've described - if you place bids for two or more items via Gixen as a group, the site can cancel the remaining bids automatically once you've won one of the items.

Hopefully we'll be up and running again soon!

Thank you, yes I found that, for me that ends up with a URL of:

https://accounts.ebay.co.uk/acctsec/security-center/third-party-app-access

but it says on it:

Quote:
No third-party apps


which is interesting since I certainly had Gixen working with my last snipe executed yesterday I think.

Hopefully the Gixen authorisation will still be listed there for others though.

Thank you for looking into this for me.
