What is going on?

Are you new to AS and used up your free snipes?

Credit card on file? Credit card expired? No balance from PayPal?

Are you sure you're looking at "All Items" or are some of them in a different folder?

The only time ebay lets you bid against yourself is if your winning bid was less than one increment, and then it will only raise your bid to a full increment. So I don't think you have to worry about that.

There's a "pull down" on "Show:" on "My Snipes" page. There's a "Snipes I've Won" and "Snipes I've Lost" (if I'm reading your post correctly).

This is getting more and more strange...OK, I went back to the "My snipes" page and put in "all snipes" and the two missing snipes came up. I changed it back to "my snipes" and they came up on that, too! How come they weren't on it the first couple of times I checked? Nothing like this has ever happened to me before with AS. Don't know what is going, on but I really want to snipe these two items so I think I'll keep checking this to make sure they're still there.
Even more weird is coming back to this forum and NOT finding this query listed anywhere. I went to the 2nd page to see if it was there...nothing. Went back to the first page and there it was! Went back to Ebay and back to AS and the SAME thing happened!
Please tell me I'm not losing my mind!!??

"You're not losing your mind." - but I only said that because you asked me too.

Does someone more technical than me know if this could be somehow related to cached pages? That's kind of what it sounds like -- when you go to a web-page, it's pulling up an old version rather than refreshing to get the latest version.

But I'm no techie, so feel free to blow holes in my "theory"!

OK...let me see if i can explain what is going on now. I went to my AS page and put in "all snipes" and the snipes I was trying to put in came up. GOOD! So, what is the difference between "My snipes" and "all snipes", and how did this get changed? I'm the only user of this computer.
So, then I go back to Ebay, then back to AS and they've disappeared from the "My snipes" page, again. However they're still on the "all snipes" page. What gives?
SO.....then I come to forum again to ask about this and my query is nowhere to be found...I go to 2nd page, still nowhere. Go BACK to first page and there it is! I do this again and the same thing happens. I can only see my query if I go to the 2nd page and backtrack to the first! So, I ask what is going on, hit post, and my response is not shown anywhere. This is my second attempt, I hope it goes through!
Please tell me I'm not losing my mind!? I've NEVER had any problems with AS before!

That's what it sounds like, Shirley--older versions of pages. Be sure to refresh each page to receive the most current listing.

OK...I AM losing my mind!! I looked at this again and there is my first reply! It didn't show up earlier! REALLY!!!

Mrbun, you're not losing your mind. Again, I'm guessing, but I'd say your computer isn't "refreshing" your page the way it should. So the first time you visit a page, instead of loading the page up fresh, your computer is just showing you the old version it has stored in it's memory. I have a similar problem with my computer at work, which is why I thought this might be it.

If you're using Internet Explorer, anywhere near version 5, try this:

1. Open the "Tools" menu that is in the menu bar at the top of the browser screen.

2. Select "Internet Options".

3. In the "Internet Options" window, make sure the "General" tab is selected from the row of tabs at the top.

4. Look about halfway down the window, and you will see a region labelled "Temporary Internet Files". This region has two buttons -- click the button one that says "Settings".

5. At the top of the "Settings" window is a question that says "Check for newer versions of stored pages:" Select "Every Visit to the Page" or "Automatically" (not sure what the difference is).

6. Click the "Ok" button to close the "Settings" window, and again to close the "Internet Options" window.

You might have to restart your browser to get the change to work right. If that doesn't help, then I'm sure someone else can come up with a better solution.
