 |

| Now you should be able to group auctions that are at least 10 seconds apart from each other (as opposed to 2-5 minutes that was case up until now). This is still in testing, so, until further notice, use at your own risk. |

| This interval is increased to at least 17 seconds now. This is a consequence of added check for "outsnipes". |

|
|
So, for someone who isnt used to free sniping ^^ Grouping several bids under the heading 1 for example, means that if you win the item, all the other items following will be cancelled ? But if you dont win it will keep tendering bids on the remaining items until you win one ?  |

That is great. So I will not end up with 2 items, if the auctions are 40 seconds apart.  |

This has changed since this post, for number of reasons. I recommend at least one minute between auctions, and prefer two minutes. |

Oh sorry,
Not correct then  
I must learn to check my facts before responding.

| No problem Mark, I forget too. As far as I can remember, distinguishing "outsniped" from "won" is one reason why this time had to be extended - now Gixen waits up to 15 seconds after auction end to make sure it was really won. |

|

I'm trying to figure this out on here. I want a purse and a matching wallet, two separate auctions five minutes apart. I do not want the purse if I do not win the wallet. How do I set that up?  |

The feature you are looking for is known as a Contingency Group here on Gixen, you have to enable that feature on the Settings page before they become available for setting snipes.
With a Contingency Group the first item that is lost cancels the rest of the snipes in that Contingency Group.

| Keep in mind that if subsequent bids in the group fail, you cannot "undo" the ones already won. |
