Okay I'll keep that in mind for the future, but in this case, I won the purse & the wallet! hooray! Gixen is so sweet! |

Thank you, Cupid, I'm going to try to set that up now! Yay! :D |

| I'm trying to figure this out on here. I want a purse and a matching wallet, two separate auctions five minutes apart. I do not want the purse if I do not win the wallet. How do I set that up? :? |

| No problem Mark, I forget too. As far as I can remember, distinguishing "outsniped" from "won" is one reason why this time had to be extended - now Gixen waits up to 15 seconds after auction end to make sure it was really won. |

This has changed since this post, for number of reasons. I recommend at least one minute between auctions, and prefer two minutes. |

|
| So, for someone who isnt used to free sniping ^^ Grouping several bids under the heading 1 for example, means that if you win the item, all the other items following will be cancelled ? But if you dont win it will keep tendering bids on the remaining items until you win one ? :roll: |

| This interval is increased to at least 17 seconds now. This is a consequence of added check for "outsnipes". |

|
| Now you should be able to group auctions that are at least 10 seconds apart from each other (as opposed to 2-5 minutes that was case up until now). This is still in testing, so, until further notice, use at your own risk. |
