eBay refused to accept your bid until you verify your account. Below is the message Gixen received from eBay while trying to submit your bid.

THIS NEVER HAPPENED TO ME, AND I JUST PLACED MANUALLY A COMPARABLE BID, BUT RECEIVED NO SUCH MESSAGE. MY EBAY ACCOUNT IS IN GOOD ORDER. |

Well, if you don't believe me, I can forward you the response (in html) received from eBay. It is unclear what criteria eBay uses to select when to request verification, but as long as you don't verify your eBay account this may happen again. And the fact that verification was requested does not mean your account is not in good order, it's a security measure. |
