[quote="blargg"]Just when I finally find a service I'm comfortable trying. I take it Gixen can't force the CAPTCHA before the auction ends so that it can pass it through to the Gixen user to solve, so that when it comes time to bid eBay won't give a CAPTCHA.[/quote]

Operating logic now deployed on Gixen servers (to avoid captchas) is very complex. <br /> <br />So far, to the best of my knowledge, no other service fixed the problem. I got contacted by two smaller competitors asking for help / advice (I did help them somewhat), and from what I can see all the other large services are still having the issue. <br /> <br />It's hard to be jubilant about it - as I am actually very worried that this may be the last time I managed to fix the problem. The next time it may be the end of all sniping services, including Gixen.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> </table>
