This morning (my time in Europe) I lost about $1000.
As European users know, I can not post any snipes on Friday mornings 10-12 a.m. But does Auctionsniper work during this time? This morning I learned it the hard way: No, it does not. Just now, 6 hours after the auction ended, I got an automtated email which says, that the snipe is "ready". Haha.
Now. I herewith declare to change the sniper service, unless
1. Auctionsniper (which otherwise is an excellent service, by the way) delcares in bold letters on the log in page, that it does not work during Friday 10-12 a.M. CET.
2. Auctionsniper rejects any snipes for this time FROM THE START, SO THAT IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO FILL OUT THE CORRESPONDING FORM. This should be possible to programm in the next two weeks.
3. Auctionsnipers manages to snipe during Friday mornings CET. This should be possible to programm in the next two months.
All those dyfunctions on Friday mornings are especially serious, as auctionsniper is offering its services in German and other European languages now - suggesting, that it does work with ebay Germany (which is, by and large, Ebay Europe). Ebay.de does run without any problems during all times.
Sincerely
Ulrich Thielemann
