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 ?

Hi Rick,

Ebay was up at the time - because I was using the auction link in the AS entry to get to the Ebay items to review the currency, payment terms etc so that I could set the price.

And I have had this problem over the past few day, not just this morning.

Yes, it may be the zero group. That appears to be the cause of another issue I am having (status "CANCELLED") but I have a recollection that one item I had this 'unable to update' problem on was not in a zero group, I'll have to wait until another example comes up to be sure.
