forced refresh... This does not seem to be a \"delay\" as Gixen have suggested to others but a real bug that may affect bidding... a response about why the forced refresh does not apparently pickup the current High Bid as shown on ebay.

I think there is perhaps some misunderstanding of the functionality here, the 'Refresh Gixen Status' button is so named because it gets the data from the Gixen servers, not the Ebay ones. Those servers are, of course, updated periodically from the Ebay ones, but not as frequently as you can have them updated directly from Ebay via the options on the 'Settings->Preferences' panel within the Desktop Manager, which are handled directly by your own computers resources from within the Desktop Manager.

The winning/selling price for that auction was set by the bid that was placed around 2 minutes before the end of the auction. So snipe timing was not an issue, or at least, if it was, that would be a first for this platform. Presumably your bid did not meet the minimum requirements dictated by the bid increment rule ?

The timing of price updates never interferes the sniping process, these are separate operations.
