WHY??????

The same thing just happened to me (very angry). I gave the lead time 5 seconds and it gave me the same message.


I've used this site for years but haven't used it recently. Now it doesn't work?


This sucks.

Have you clicked on the Verify link at the bottom of the My Snipes page? Have you logged a support call via the Help Tab?

This might be what's happening:

But, R2 is dead right - filing a support request is your best bet.

Suggestion: As part of AS's Verify they could check the 'strength' of passwords. They could even do this on a regular basis for all AS members - what a great marketing tool that would be!

I think the reason eBay lets people have stupid and short passwords is because they're afraid users can barely remember those passwords. How in the world would they remember a significantly strong password.

I've seen hundreds or thousands of passwords over the years doing support. Most are very weak. They have gotten better over the years, but they are still weak. A decent percent of people use the last 4 digits of their phone, birthday, or social security #. Many think they are being smart and safe doing passwords like: 123qwe or qweasd. Tons and tons use dictionary words. Etc.

Danger Boy. You should be thanking us and singing the praises of yet another benefit of AuctionSniper. Fraud prevention!

We saved your rear from winning a fraudulent PS3 auction that eBay deleted from their servers. Thus the reason your snipe failed was because eBay killed that auction.

Had you not been sniping the fraudulent seller would have had access to your email address and could have then tried one of many different scams on you to try and get that several hundred dollars those things sell for.

This is nice new reason to use sniper rather than proxy bidding which I had never thought of.

No. What would have sucked would have been paying for that item and never getting it. Which is what would have happened if eBay didn't kill that auction.

And be exposed to the liability should a user’s password get hacked? I don’t think so!!

And, then there are the users that would bitch about always getting this warning message and posting, “Someone is trying to hack into my account”, or “I’m getting this warning about my password – This sucks.” So, after AS added this feature, people would be complaining on the forum, then one (I think there are only 2 or 3) of the forum regulars would start to crusade and crusade and crusade AS to add the option of turning it off/on, then I would crusade to get that added to the Q & A, then some French guy would want a French version, then some Brit would want the text to have z’s where Yanks put s’s.

AS stands for AuctionSniper, not AuctionStrengther.

Anyway, ebay already provides that in that if they don’t add that captcha, then you’re OK. And there’s documentation, on ebay, and elsewhere/everywhere, about what one should do to have a safe password.

Calm down, calm down, it was just a suggestion! I can tell you're getting worked up by the typos!!!!

Small price to pay! ANYTHING to distract you from another one of your crusades.
