I get this error a lot when I go to change a snipe.
Typically having added it using the wizard and moved it to my "NEW" bid group, it sits around for a couple of days until I get around to adding a comment to it and setting a bid value.
But quite frequently when I go to change the price or add a comment I get this message:
"Your Snipe could not be edited at this time"
To get around it I usually delete the auction and re add it.
Typically the comment I want to add is the currency, the payment method and abnormal postage charges - as these modify my bid value.
My 'New' group is a bid group with a zero maximum which is where I put snipes while I am thinking about the amount I want to bid.
My intention is to make the appropriate changes (comment, price etc) and then move the auction into a folder so the snipe will happen.
I have just been doing a bit of tidying and I have had this problem about 7 or 8 times on different auctions today, some closing as little as 2 days away, but most have 3-4 days to go.
Any idea what I am doing wrong ?
