I got this "Did Not Win" message and there was no other bid for my item. I had a 7 second time. No one else bid for the item. What happened?

"Did Not Win" is usually the result of ebay not responding when AS placed your snipe...they are *usually* quite uncommon (I have had 1 in the past 2 years).
I would say that your snipe didnt hit the ebay servers in time, which resulted in no bid being placed.
Not much consulation, but if you >>CLICK HERE<< and file a support case, you might get a couple of free snipes to help ease the pain.
Good news that no one else placed a bid though, you should be able to contact the seller and ask if they are going to relist.

What‘s happening is that eBay is putting up an intervening page rather than logging directly on for you, which is killing our verification:
‘Security Alert: The password you are using can be easily guessed by others. Therefore, eBay strongly recommends that you change your password to something more secure.‘
My suggestion is to change your password to something more complex and include numbers or other non-alphabetic characters. The easiest thing to do if you really like your present password is to add numbers in front of and behind your current password so that eBay is satisfied.
eBay is doing this to prevent automated hacking programs from discovering your password. It‘s for your benefit, but it does prevent us from signing you up or sniping for you.
Change your password on eBay, then try again with us, with the new password.
Username/Password
Login to AuctionSniper( http://www.auctionsniper.com/ ), click on Modify Account (under the My Snipes tab). NOTE: if you‘re first directed to the referral page, click on the My Snipes tab, then you‘ll see Modify Account. Under Account Information, change your username &/or password there. If you change your username, you will need to re-input your password. At the bottom of the screen, click on Update My Account, and you‘re done. Log out, then log back in again with your new username &/or password and it should work fine. Remember that we must match eBay for these.
