Mario--
If you decide to implement this suggestion, there is another instance that is similar. If your Gixen session has timed out (after two hours of inactivity), you can still check a current auction price by clicking the item# link. If the auction has exceeded your snipe, you might chose to delete the item. When you hit delete, another Gixen log in is forced, but the deletion has to be done again. It would be cleaner for the deletion to proceed immediately upon re-login.

If I understand jackw8233, he would appreciate the fact that the data had been captured and his snipe had been scheduled without data reentry.
Oops, sorry, I think I came to the same conclusion as you without first reading your message.

I'm not certain what you mean.
Are you suggesting that if you schedule snipes here on Gixen, then go and change your password on eBay, then log in here with your new eBay password, that the snipes you previously scheduled for that account should be translated to have the new password?
If so, I think its a security issue as far as Mario is concerned, so he doesn't want to do that.
After having read jackw8233's message over and over again, I think what he's talking about is when you've left your Gixen window logged in a long time without activity, it will eventually time out. When you try to go in and place your bid after that long wait, you'll be asked to log back into Gixen. And you'll lose any bids you were trying to enter prior to Gixen timing out.

Whoops--
I am overthinking here. Security would not be an issue as the data would captured and only be used for a snipe after successful login. MY BAD.

Mark--
Security is an issue here. Would you want another person scheduling a snipe on your dime? Perhaps it is best to force the login and data re-entry. After all, it is only two steps: re-paste the auction number, then mentally recall and re-enter your intended max bid. It seems to me that the effort required is worth the security provided.

P.S. I'm sure Mario will decide wisely in this matter and hope that he will post his decision and reasoning.

tigting,
Ah yes, that makes sense... maybe Mario could look into that.
