Could Not Add This Item

[kb2qqm]

I am trying to bid on an item tonight. When I sign in, and type in the item number, it rejects it, saying it is unable to place a bid on that item. I shows
"Could not add this item" the item number in parenthesis and then a (1) after that number in red. The item is auction only and not a buy it now. There are also zero bids on the item currently.

I stumped or too much egg nog !

It's working now, they were several items actually. I keep my fingers crossed for no more failure, Gixen has been so reliable (and efficient) so far.

I'm having the same problem, is there something wrong? when I try to modify my bid amount on this item: 370307975274, i get the "Could not add this item (370307975274)(1)." error... will it still snipe with my current bid amount?

Daniel, ebay changed the format of ebay motors pages last night. I am working on restoring the functionality.

This has been fixed now. You can add ebay Motors items again.

When attempting to enter a snipe on item #130364828565 I rec'd the msg:

This snipe may have been entered too late into Gixen and may not be executed.

But the auction ends in 4 days 20hrs.

I've just changed my settings to include comments & pictures.

Just tried another item: 250574485446

Same msg. So it appears that after changing settings, I can no longer enter snipes.

Tried logging out / back in after changing settings. No joy....

619km,

I can add both of those without any problem. I have pictures, but not comments.

I have had that message before when I did not format the bid amount correctly. Make sure you dont have any currency symbols in that field and it is in the format '10.01'.

Let us know if this stil does not enable you to add these snipes.

I added it with both images and comments enabled, however make sure that you don't use unicode characters in the "comment" field, as Gixen database supports ascii characters only.
