[quote="Anonymous"]After ~48 hours, a dozen cache clearings, 3 password resets, and 3 phone/email verifications, Gixen just successfully placed a bid for me ! I have no idea what eventually ended up working. Perhaps just doing nothing on ebay for 12-24 hours? It looks like ebay is always coming up with new ways to make life difficult for sniping tools, even though using these tools allows you to bid more easily and more often, which makes ebay more $ :-/[/quote]

As a backup plan in the last few hours since having this problem, I signed up for another web-based sniping program and both of their snipes went through fine. So, this appears to be a Gixen problem. <br /> <br />I'll send you an email too. I'd really like to keep using Gixen because I think it's still the best and most user-friendly sniping tool, but the ebay verification issue seems to be occurring with a greater frequency and is taking a serious toll on Gixen's reliability.</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> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>Guest</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Thu Mar 10, 2016 7:01 pm<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">Mario, <br /> <br />I just followed the complete instructions again and placed a few more manual bids.
