Gixen main server is supposed to bid incrementally, following extensions. Gixen Mirror is supposed to hold off until the very last second, trying to not to bid until there are no more extensions (it will still trigger one more, obviously).

I am looking at what happened here. It looks like you did not have Gixen Mirror, so main stopped bidding, thinking that you were winning. This was not supposed to happen.


Thank you for investigating, Mario.

That explains the sudden stop of Gixen's bids. It sounds like a glitch with how the main server tracks status updates during active extensions.

Is this something you will be able to patch, or is using Gixen Mirror the only reliable way to bid on eBay AU extended auctions for now?

Also, will there potentially be a toggle option to return to the old bidding logic, at least until the new system is stable?

Hi,

eBay Item ID: 840056755410

I am writing to report a failure with Gixen during an extended bidding auction on eBay Australia. My max bid in Gixen was set to AU $217.79, but Gixen completely stopped bidding at AU $155.85, causing me to lose an item that sold for only AU $158.35.

The auction went into extended bidding, and Gixen correctly placed a few incremental bids at first. However, it completely stopped chasing the item well before hitting my AU $217.79 maximum budget.

Gixen's last bid went through at AU $155.85, but then it went completely silent for the remainder of the extension window. The item ended up selling to someone else for just AU $158.35. It seems like the system encountered an error that stopped it from bidding, but I'm unsure what happened.

Could you also clarify how Gixen is currently supposed to work with the new extended bidding on eBay Australia? Are there any changes I should make?
