|
|
I won the auction for eBay item # 370819729893 , so it should have cancelled all the other auctions of the same group. It did for many but it didn't do it for eBay items # 261218961968 and 261218962006 because they were within 4 seconds of each other.
Is there a way to avoid that problem ? |

There is a clear warning not to group items within 2 minutes of each other, exactly for this reason.
In this case, it was not possible even in theory to cancel a bid that's 4 seconds apart when offset is 6 seconds.
No way to solve this except not to group items within 2 minutes of each other. |

I agree there is a clear warning and everyone, until now, has become aware of it before thinking that the site had not performed as expected and thus felt the need to complain.
I would thus think it unnecessary for Gixen to implement further checks to reject Grouped snipes that were attempted to be scheduled too close together... However, I do think that technically that should be possible. _________________ Mark |

It is, another thing I should probably implement. Maybe not reject it, but display a big warning. |
