I had a snipe set to bid on item 224804201941, I bid $680 and the auction ended at $520 without having executed my snipe? I re-authorized ebay access just before placing the snipe. I've never had a snipe fail before and would be grateful for an explanation as I don't want to have this happen again. Thanks!

What status has Gixen given the snipe now that the auction has completed ?

Interestingly the seller appears to have relisted the auction with a Buy It Now price well below what you were willing to pay.

It just says 'Ended'? The item was relisted briefly but then the relisting was removed because there was an error in it (perhaps they accidentally relisted it even though it was sold?) The original auction ran to completion though - apparently without Gixen submitting our bid.

Sometimes the 'ENDED' status means that the snipe was submitted too late or that an edit was made within the last two minutes of the auction.

Did you change the snipe at any time ?

Also if you made a change earlier than that did you subsequently use the 'Refresh' button of the browser, which actually means 'Do the last thing I did, again', so can sometimes result in multiple edits of a snipe.

You made a late edit, only 39 seconds before auction end.
