just lost bid and item sold for less

Ebay item number: 235333107864

I set my max price at 97 and the item sold for $48 when the bidding ended, I'm not even sure I bid anything. This is my first time using gixen, I don't understand the bidding history and I'm not sure where to check the status of the bid.

What is the status that Gixen gave the snipe after the auction had completed ?

It is on the snipes page after you have logged in here via the web interface, in the 'Status' column, third from the right.

It doesnt appear in my Gixen My Snipes Gixen Main - Chicago page anymore, I paid for the mirror subscription in order to look at the history and when i check history it says ENDED

I also looked at my settings to make sure I was connected to the right ebay account and I am.

Is there somewhere else I should be looking?

Did you edit it after you first entered the snipe, or was it just entered once and then left to run its course ?

If you don't delete it or push the 'PURGE OLD' button, it is supposed to stay on your snipes page for about three days after the auction completes, and that one ended only about 14 hours ago... So, if you didn't delete it after that auction completed it's an indication it maybe wasn't a scheduled snipe at the time that the auction ended, that is, as if you deleted it before the auction ended.

I did edit my max bid after I first entered the snipe, but I did not delete it. After I edited my max bid I let it run its course. I also did not push the purge old button. Are we allowed to edit our max bids? Or should I delete the entry entirely and then resubmit with the max bid that I want?

Sorry I have so many questions, I am currently also trying for 116005908830 and I went through the same process of editing the snipe as I did with the item that ended (clicked Edit on the right, entered in new max bid number, and then clicked Modify). Will this go through correctly?

And second, can you help me understand what is happening in my history for the item 235333107864? I checked and I am not sure how to attach an image but it says three entries, 80, then 100, then 90 in chronological order even though I kept my max bid at 97 (I think I modify it from 97 to 87, if that is the edit you are talking about). Why are these entries appearing in my history if the snipe did not even schedule? [/img]

Yes, it is present in the snipes page, thanks for being patient with me. For the other item, I don't remember if I changed it within 2 minutes but maybe I did on the iphone app and that was the reason the snipe didnt go through, I can't really think of anything else I did. All of the history related to item 235333107864 say ENDED as the status.

No problem, good luck with what you've got scheduled.
