i joined and paid the subscription price because i thought the bids would be placed later than 6 seconds before listing ends. i thought 3 seconds before listing ends. why are bids STILL being placed at 6 seconds???

i lost this item because someone bid a higher amount 3 seconds after my bid!!!

Well you set the offset on the main server at 3 seconds, but the offset on mirror server was still set to 6 seconds. If you wanted no more than 3 seconds, both should have been set to 3 seconds.

By the way - you really lost NOTHING... anything that came 6 seconds or less before auction end was likely pre-scheduled anyway, not a reaction to your bid. Had you set both servers at 3 seconds, your bid likely wouldn't have even got accepted by ebay, or you would have been outbid that same moment anyway.

I keep repeating that 3 second offset is completely USELESS, but no one seems to listen, and users want it anyway, so I make it available. The only purpose may be thrill of having a snipe that late.

Didn't want to open a new topic just for this question: is there any reason I'm not seeing the mirror option on a paid account? In other words if I added an item before the pay went through I guess it won't update the mirror option automatically.

Sorry for the double post but something weird is happening: I'm getting the 3 sec option but not the mirror.

Sorry again if this has been discussed before.

You probably do have it - click on "Gixen Mirror - Miami" tab and you should see a table with bids on mirror server (grouped bids excluded). When entering bids, there are two values for offset - one for main, one for mirror server.

Generally - there is nothing different in using Gixen if you have mirror - bids are added automatically to mirror as you add them, you don't have to add them twice on two servers.

For the record I was using the desktop version and the mirror option is still unavailable.

I just tried the online version and Miami is blank.

Don't get me wrong the sniping went fine without the mirror but I'd like the extra reassurance next time.

Are any of your snipes Grouped, those are not Mirrored (by definition they are replaceable by each other, so it is not so necessary).

If any are not Grouped and still not shown on the Mirror Tab, on the web interface, could you let us know an example item number?
