ebay recently changed their setup so that international auctions without paypal don't appear on ebay.com any longer.
therefore those auctions are not snipable - unless auction sniper is taking care of this problem.

Well I wish that Auctionsniper would publish a comment about this on there homepage or a watch this space so that thier international customers could be informed of the status. I guess I'll just have to look elsewhere...

Hello, it looks like all the people who are on this forum are US citizens?
Just to add to the problem of not being able to place any snipes because of 'item not found'; I live in Belgium, Europe and am a satisfied user of AS for years too.
I do not think the problem is only linked to international Ebays out of the US!! I just tried to snipe 2 items here in Belgium and get the same answer as you! So .... please AS.... help!!

it's because ebay tries to pressure sellers into using their paypal service.
items from belgium or elsewhere outside the u.s. don't appear in the ebay.com searches if paypal is not checked as an option.
what i donÄ't get is, why AS needs so long to adjust to the problem. other snipe services had solved the problem within a day.

You should be surprised a lot of Belgian people prefer Paypal payments!
But as I log in on ebay.be , I can off course see all belgian items, accepting Paypal or not. That is not the issue, I want to put a snipe on a Belgian item, living in Belgium... have done this before maybe a hundred times! but impossible to put the snipes for the moment...

Hi I'm from Germany and here paypal is not often used. At the moment I can't import anything! I am so used to the auction sniper I am totaly out of shape in bidding the normal way. My laptop is so slow, it's annoying.
I hope the problem is solved soon.

Perhaps this (Sniper Mike D.'s post) is the reason:

Nope no beta version, the beta version is absolutely terrible and I deactivated it as soon as it activated itself.
Then, perhaps this other post of Sniper Mike D's:

If that doesn't help, best bet is to use the following link to talk to someone in support:

As this problem is clearly eBay trying to force both buyers and sellers to use PayPal (remember the good old days when the first $500 were free and so were debit card charges?), is there not a class action case to be made against them for restraint of trade?
"made" - yes; "successful" - no.quote:Originally posted by euronl:

As a public company they have to publish any such suit and would not like that, settle perhaps?
Do you really think such a successful, and VISIBLE, American company that resides in the land of the Sue-Your-Way-To-Happiness-And-Success would take a dump without first contacting their lawyers? But, hey, don’t let me stop you – it’s the American Dream!
Possibly, but not only do we seem to take whatever eBy dishes out lying down, we should not forget one such suit against PayPal was successful. Hey, we are their source of income. 
“We”? Hope you’re not including me in that “we”. Me believes that if me isn’t deriving benefit from a service, then me takes me’s business elsewhere. Me finds that more productive than “lying down” (me is part of the me-generation).quote:Originally posted by euronl:

I read something in this thread about another sniping service but I can't find it now. Weird. Anyway the other service that I'm now using is having no probs with international auctions - I've already won a couple that AS couldn't find. But there are actually a lot of other services having this problem too, apparently.
Yet another shill.quote:Originally posted by Matador:
