I have gone through the Discussion Board and don't find a topic that covers the error message I am getting when I use Bidgroups. The error is "Unresolved Bidgroup Item" This error locks up the bidgroup (appropriately so), but I don't know why every snipe I have tried in a bid group is having a problem, even those I should have won if the bid had been placed. On those situations where I would have won the error message is not showing up until the the lead time expires.
I've just registered after getting that very message 3 times and losing 3 auctions because of it
VERY unhappy about it, I assumed the first time that it was a problem with the bid group I was re-using. I deleted the bid group and made a new one, re-imported my ebay watched items, and it failed on a further 2 occasions
Sure does look like something isn’t right in the AS bid group world. You might want to avoid using bid group folders and use regular sniping folders until AS reports back. Definitely file a support request: http://support.auctionsniper.com/
You have my apologies. I‘ve been working on engineering to get them to make this the priority it should be. It‘s not yet clear---to me anyway---whether this is due to a fix earlier this week that caused the problem or a change eBay recently made to their links that‘s causing the problem. However, it‘s one for us to fix. For today and this weekend, I‘ll have to suggest avoiding using bid groups. Sorry for your inconvenience.
Don't know the status of this bug/fix, but had a bid group snipe successfully fire 7/30/2005 @ 7:30 pm. Ended up top bidder , but didn't make reserve . Hoping for a 2nd chance offer from the seller!
"There is a possibility that the bid goup has gone bad. Try creating a new bid group and move any active snipes you have in this group to the new bid group.
If you still face the problem please let me know."
I won't be using bidgroups anytime soon. Too bad, I use them all the time and loved them.
Hi, I am very new to auctionsniper and the concept of sniping. But in 2 days have won an item I wanted at the right price using my first Bidgroup. Created a 2nd Bidgroup today for another item. First Bid was 2 low, but so far everything going smoothly. Then an "Unresolved Bidgroup" fault prevented a bid on an item that went for an unbelievably low price. Well below my bid! This fault is not well explained on the site, so I came to the Forum, did a search and found this thread.
So the situation DOES NOT appear to be resolved by today 30 August 2005.
I have created another Bidgroup and logged a SUpport message, and am crossing my fingers and hoping.
Siighhhh, I have had some response from support, and re-researched this forum, and looked again at my "Unresolved Bidgroup Item" issue.
After that I have not proved it, but I am suspecting, that if a snipe attempt is made, whether it is too low to actually make a bid, or it is outbid by proxy, it is taking up to or over 20 minutes for AS to resolve the outcome, so that they can enter the next snipe attempt.
Consequently, I propose that bidding groups need to be set up so as no bids ending closer than 30 minutes apart, are included. I have not tried, but another option may be to try to cancel the unsuccesful bid after the auction end but before AS has entered the true status.
The latter may well create system problems and not be a good idea.
The advice from others to transfer the remaining bids into another group would probably work successfully.
, but didn't make reserve
