You can renew your authorisation using the second section of the Settings page, it doesn't cost anything and takes just a few minutes.

It means that the authorisation you gave for Gixen to bid on your behalf has been revoked, this could be for various reasons, the authority expires after 18 months but it's also been noted that changing your credentials on Ebay can also cause them to cancel the authorisation.

AM USING "DESKTOP MANAGER" AND ONLY A SETTINGS BOX ON THE LEFT. ONLY TWO CHOICES THERE, #1 GIVES MT NAME AND PASSWORD AND #2 IS PREFERENCES. SO FAR THE INSTRUCTIONS DO NOT FIT WHAT I COME UP WITH. i'VE DONE THIS BEFORE AND SAVED THE INSTRUCTIONS THEN AND IT WAS EASY. NOT THIS TIME. GUESS I'M MISSING SOMETHING SOMEWHERE??

You need to log on here via the web interface before you will be able to access the Settings page by pushing the Settings button that is below the tabs but above your snipes.

Further to this subject I tried to re-authorize my account but the it kept saying that the server was down on the American Ebay site which gixen wants to link to.
I even deleted my, old and unused for ages, gixen account to see if starting from scratch made a difference but no - still servers down, please try later.

So now I have no gixen account at all and am unable to create one!!

It's possible this was a temporary issue with eBay, try again now.

Why don't we know this BEFORE we lose a very important bid!

There is a warning displayed in bold red letters about expired authorization. Not sure why you haven't seen it.
