Hi,
Your status for the item number 5524478677 shows as Unknown.
Your snipe could be not be placed because of an eBay server error. In the event of this, Auction Sniper continues to bid for you up to 15 times. These type of errors are not common, nor are they limited to Auction Sniper. Although this is ultimately the responsibility of eBay, we do all that we can to prevent this from happening.
Regards

Now since you missed 12 auctions as well without bids being placed, it's obvious that some rare and random eBay server error is not the problem. Apparently they haven't completely fixed the problem as yet.
I just place snipes on three more auctions tomorrow morning. They're items that I don't mind losing. I'll wait and see if they also disappear and if so, I'll summit the info to my original support thread and see if they give the same answer.
Anybody else here active in the Mature Audiences section?
