Hello Mario,
I'd changed my eBay password few days ago and after that I tried to bid on items with Gixen, but it didn't do it without any reason.

Did you make sure that you logged into Gixen with your New password?

After the auctions ended what status did the snipes have?

Can you provide some auction numbers as examples of your problem?

OK Mario will need to look into those auctions thank you.

It might be that eBay are diplaying captcha screens to Gixen when it tries to log in to place your bid, apperently this happens sometimes after you change your eBay password. It might be that you dont get them but Gixen does because it is logging in from a different location from the one at which you changed your password. If this is the case they usually go away after a few days I believe. Also Mario has been looking into allowing users to see the captchas when they occur when you log into Gixen, but of course that would not help with placing bids when you are not involved in the process.

If it is not that... Mario will let us know.

I assume that you are based in the UK as one of those auctions only seems to ship to the UK?. If that is the case do you have your target servers set to ebay.co.uk for placing bids?... It might help if not, but I dont think that would actually be the cause of your problem.

eBay inserted another login screen in the middle of the flow, after already being logged in. This is done usually before some information is requested from you, likely a credit card.

Is it possible that you haven't verified your ebay account with a credit card, or that your credit card on file with ebay expired?

Yes, I have look today in my ebay account and have been very surprised that my credit card stay in status "expired", nevertheless of that really expired on year 2012. I try to confirm again this one and other one but confirmation was failed. Tomorrow I'll contact with ebay to check what is the problem. When I have information about this I have posted here.
Thanks!

Mario, I linked the card to my eBay account, make everything you told me. Today I snipe an item (#190307747027), but Gixen didn't react again. Everything looks okay, but there was no reaction.

Hm, it's the same issue as before (extra login screen). At this point, the only way to find out what is wrong is to try a manual bid. I will see that I add some code to pass this additional login screen - then at least we should see what's causing this.

dilyan111, I haven't implemented the additional handling code as of yet (I will eventually), however I don't see this happen anymore. I would go ahead and try again if I were you. Please let me know if this happens again.

Dilyan, what is the latest item number that failed for you?
Are you sure you still don't get any warnings / extra login screens when you bid manually?

I checked the logs - ebay inserted again a login screen with a verification (captcha) code request. Do you ever see these when you log in? This could mean that your password is not strong enough among other causes.

Hello,
eBay never shows me that screen with a verification code and believe me my password is very strong. Please try to solve my problem.

It is not unusual for Gixen to get the extra captcha screen even though you dont from home, because Gixen logs in from a different location... its as if you had gone to a different country and tried to log into eBay and bid from there.

The problem is unrelated to where you log in to Gixen; the problem is that Gixen logs in to eBay (on your behalf) from a different location than where you log in to eBay. There's not much Mario can do about eBay throwing up another login screen.

Well, I guess there is something Mario could look into doing. If Gixen is able to determine that it has been presented with a second login screen, it would seem possible that the code could be rewritten to handle that possibility by logging in again. I should mention that I know just enough about programming to be dangerous, so my suggestion might be completely unrealistic.

Actually I am surprised you are still having this problem - I see it very rarely now, unless users have a weak password. I would try to change your password to a really strong one (letters & numbers, no dictionary words, at least 8 characters strong). Then see what happens.

Well no, because I cannot replicate the problem. I checked the log, and it looks like it was an incorrect password. Please email me, as I may have to ask for additional information not suitable for the forum.

Hi
I really wanted to win an auction so I thought by using your service I would better my chances. Gixen did not even place a bid in my behalf.

I am very dissapointed and will not be recommending your site EVER!

What are you talking about?

From what I can see Gixen placed a bid for you and you won.
