|
|
Hello,
I put a much higher price for ebay item 223476638032, but I lost the auction to someone who posted 2/3 of that price. Gixen status is ENDED. What is wrong? 10 mins before, I successfully won another auction with the same seller.
Help me please. |

What status has Gixen given this snipe, both on the Main and the Mirror tabs, now that it has completed ?
Did you add the snipe to Gixen at least two minutes before the auction ended ? _________________ Mark |

I only see the main tab (no paid subscription). And the status is ENDED (not WON).
I updated that snipe about 5-10 mins before auction end. Initially I added it 10 hours before. |

Usually in this scenario, with just an ENDED status it is because you entered the snipe too late.
I suspect that your edit eventually completed within 2 minutes of the auction end, in that case it's too late for Gixen to take that action and you've effectively cancelled it biding anything at all.
If you are changing your mind about what you are prepared to bid that late in the auction it's probably better to just use Ebay directly and bid manually. This service works best when you decide the price that you are prepared to pay well in advance of the auction end. _________________ Mark |

You kept editing this snipe, and the last edit before auction end was only 30 seconds before auction end time. That's too late - Gixen requires all edits to be completed 2 minutes before auction end. |
