Snipe - Did Not Win

Could you post your auction # ? It would be helpful.

And, welcome to our forum!

OHHH That just annoy's me... I knew you would need the auction number... I had copied it to my clipboard..then did not paste it.

Oh well, it is 8162367060

I did not win an auction tonight My snipe bid was well above the winning bid and was scheduled 4 seconds before auction end. It appears everything stopped at the Ebay bid confirmation window. What happened??

Same thing just happened to me!!
I just lost an auction and Im very upset about it!!!!!!!!
What is going on?????

Send your auction # and explain what happened to : http://support.auctionsniper.com/

I know yesterday I was having a terrible time with a listing on Ebay so maybe there is still a problem at Ebay!

I just lost one and my snipe was 200.00 above the winner. Item 35745422510

Thanks, already did that but still it won't make me win the auction.
My bid wasn't even placed and another buyer managed to snipe it with a 20 sec lead while mine was set to 5 and way above the winning bid.

Happened to me three times tonight:

auction 4960691104, 4961717295, 4961715965

Fooh!

Add me to the list of loosers...

auction 3953863601

Me, too. What's going on? Did Ebay block it? Auction #5745427757. Very disappointed. Don't know if another one will be coming up for auction. Ouch!!

Me too - lost 2 auctions which had no bids!
and one where I would have been the highest bidder!


Items:

4351639896
4351640193

Christi, I may know what happened. Twice I have lost bids on baby / infant items. I don't know for sure on the first, but on the second lost item (which just happened), eBay is posting a safety warning about recalled items. Following eBay's reference to CPSC, it says "by clicking here". The word "here" contains a link to the CPSC screen. Below this information is eBay's usual item title, your max bid amount, etc. followed by the confirm bid box which must be clicked to complete the bid. Until Auction Sniper proves otherwise, I think the Auction Sniper bid is taking the path following the "here" for safety (which would explain why my bid has died for two different auctions). Were any of the other "non bid complaints" for baby items?
Until I know otherwise, I will always make at least one bid to see if this CPSC screen comes up. When it does, I will plan to place my bids myself. However, I may "test" Auction Sniper and also use it. Then if I have only placed one bid, I will know that Auction Sniper failed me, but I won anyway...
Is my explanation clear?

Cammie - thanks for the explanation. Two of my auctions for for a set of sheets so I am not sure that's the case for all of these failures.

I have learned that you should allow at least 9 seconds before the auction closes. I used to use 6 seconds, and then started missing bids. Somewhere in the documentation we are warned not to cut it too close.

R A T S ! ! !R A T S ! ! ! Add me to the list. My snipe was never placed and it was well above the winning bid. There were only 3 bidders and I had a 7 minute lead time. This is the first failure for me and I have successfully used Auction Sniper many many times. The auction number was #6506394130 on
1-25-05.

Was your lead time 7 minutes or 7 seconds? If 7 seconds, that was the problem (unfortunately).

I was buying a computer. I just manually bid another one and it went through 3 confirmation screens

eBay has again made some changes and we are aware of them and have been working on them. We hope to have them resolved shortly. Please in the meantime place all your snipes manually as we can not be certain all snipes are being placed.
