I lost an auction because of an Ebay requirement for credit card verification on bids more than $15K. No mention of it when I submitted my bid through your service. BIG DISAPPOINTMENT.....

Hiya Disappointed,
Sorry that you missed out on the Auction, I havent ever had to bid on anything worth that much - but is it common knowledge that you need this verification? I doubt that AS would check such a thing.
Its probably a nice idea for AS to have a little pop up that warns you of this verfication when you enter a snipe for such a large amount...maybe you should submit it via the *request a new feature* link on "My Snipes" page?

What? AS doesn't know YOU made a mistake until it bids for you.
p.s. You can do it without a credit card, but will cost you $5. >Click<

Dont you think it would be an easy fix though Puppy to have a warning pop up and maybe that link?
If I was wanting to purchase a car or boat off ebay I would of probably just entered it via AS as well.

I do not recall blaming AS for the loss. I just mentioned that I was disappointed and I used the service.
My point was that the service could be much better if a pop up or the sort warned of the impending problem.
I have always sniped on my own, but decided since this was a large purchase to use your site to "make sure". I was totally unaware of this requirement, otherwise I would have not made the mistake in the first place. It would have been nice if I had some backup, just to make sure.....

but I don't really *want* AS going into my personal information.
It would also be easy to double check to see if I changed my password at eBay each time I enter a snipe, but I don't expect them to do that either.
I want AS to bid for me... and think it does a pretty good job of it.

No need for it to go into your personal information.
Just a Pop Up Warning ...."Have you completed the Credit Card Verification for a snipe of this amount" Please refer to .....

Little bit different scenario, unless you are placing $15K bids everyday. I *wish* I had that much spare money to place those bids everyday.
Ahh C'mon Dissappointed... I didnt bag ya out...plz dont use the
on me

I will say that the item I was bidding on generated so much interest, that I was unable to access the bid page on Ebay for the last 15 minutes of the auction. I was also logged into the auctionsnipe site and was able to see the whole bid process transpire as fast as I could hit the refresh key. How do you do that?? You would think that 2Mbps of bandwidth would be enough.
The thing that got my goat was the camper sold for less the 15K. Stinks to be me....

Don't want to hurt anyone's feelings.
Ah Well Disappointed, lesson learnt the hard way I guess. At least it got ya into the Forum 
. I think you should submit that request, then someone else might not have the same misfortune.

Would it be unethical if did not submit and used it as an advantage (since I know better now)?
Just kidding, maybe....
LOL - Now you are thinking like a devious sniper

Hitting refresh at AS updates the times, but not the price.
Phew Puppy - Thank Heavens you were here with that site. I dont have it in my favorites at work.

You've been in the forum often today... filling in for Mrs.M ?
...Puppy, is that Lexie is SUPPOSED to be doing end-of-month stuff, but she hates it so she's taking LOTS of breaks from it by popping in the forum! Am I right, Lexie?
