eBay Item Nio, 355043599873

I successfully scheduled a bid of 208.88. The item sold an hour ago for $158.50! The reason given was 'Invalid Authorization'. I have been using this same account successfully for years. I really wanted this item. What good is this product?

Ebay automatically revokes authorisations older than 18 months, or when you change any credentials on their site.

You can renew it using the second section of the Settings page after logging in here.

What is the "second section" called?
I've forgotten how to Re-authorize, and Ebay doesn't know
Their Settings are for Ebay Settings not Gixen.

It is called 'eBay authorization status' the renewal process is described, with pictures, in this blog:

If the reason given for the failure is the authorization, renew it anyway.

There can be other reasons why Ebay revokes the authorisation early, without informing Gixen.

What exactly was the status of the snipe after the auction had completed ?

As a status of a Gixen snipe, displayed on the Gixen web interface ? That's not one I've ever seen before.
