10 digit eBay item numbers bust snipes

Jeff, I tried it and AS immediately set up a snipe for me. No problema.

Steve,

That item number started to work for me too.

Try some of these other numbers and see if you get the same unhandled exception error I've been seeing.

1372564990
1372566266
1373027934

Maybe it isn't the fact that it is a 10 digit number. Maybe it is that the item has a "buy it now" figure but doesn't have a bid yet. That's what appears to have changed with the first item number.

Jeff, I came up with three error messages, too. "Input not in correct format" was the message. Looks as if there might be a problem after all.

Uh.... Those aren't auctions.

Thus you can't snipe them. We will fix it to tell you they aren't auctions.

They are fixed price items. i.e. the only option you have is to buy it right then on the spot for the exact price listed. I have a feeling there are going to be more and more of these and less auctions, which I think is a shame. I love the fun and potention for a good deal that I get with auctions.

Thank you

Hi,

This problem has been resolved and the fix for it is already live.

The problem was that stored items (with fix prices) can't be snipe since they are not really auctions.

Well, now instead of the error you will get a message telling you why the snipe coudn't be added.

I'm selling some stuff as Auctions and they have 10 digit numbers - will they snipe OK now that the fix is in place?

No snipe like the present!

There was never a problem with sniping auctions.

Just trying to snipe things on eBay that weren't auctions. And of course couldn't be sniped anyways.
