				     |

				TWICE now, including tonight, I've missed winning an item (which was won for a VERY low amount by someone else) because I did not notice the item had BOTH an auction and a Buy-It-Now option, and I entered a Gixen bid for MORE than the BIN amount.  This apparently causes eBay to reject the bid (or is it just Gixen? I've never tried a manual snipe like that on eBay to see what happens).
 
 
For tonight, the item in question is #200567642291; my Gixen bid was for $10.86 and the Buy It Now amount was $6.99; the item went for $1.04!!!
 
 
Is there anyway to make Gixen 'warn' the user that there IS a BIN on the item when attempting to place the Gixen snipe?
 
 
Thanks. |

				It is eBay that always rejects such bids, Gixen does not reject bids. _________________ Mark |

				| I will see what can be done to detect BIN price and warn users. It won't be something that I can implemented quickly though. |
