Sounds like there’s something wrong with your account (either ebay or AS). If AS was experiencing a bug, it’s likely several users would have mentioned this problem on this forum - no one else has.
Here are the possibilities:
- File a support request with AS: http://support.auctionsniper.com/. The support staff rarely makes appearances on the forum, so if you’re waiting for them to answer your posts, you might have a long, and frustrating, wait.
- Place a manual bid and see what response you get from ebay. At least that will determine whether it’s something to address with ebay or AS.
- Do nothing and continue to lose auctions.
- Start using another service.
I did find this in ebay’s help, but it doesn’t provide much help:
