I've been waiting for this. It works well. Thanks, Keith!

[CanBid]

ebay.ca please

[spoonpilot]

Thanks for this add-on Keith, it's perfect and makes Gixen so quick and easy to use, especially when making a large number of bids.
I'm delighted this new version loads in background tabs, removing the need to refresh pages that weren't in focus on loading. Great job, much appreciated.

[Gixen]

[Autosnipe]

I have uploaded version 1.4.4 and been approved by Mozilla

Change Log
* This includes eBay.ca
* Resized the popup box to remove scroll bars
* Ability to save username, password and bid in the [Firefox Menu]->[Add-ons]->[Autosnipe] ->[Options]

Next improvement will be to add the ability to use with firefox mobile app and any other requested eBay sites

If you find this helpful please send me a donation in the options page.

Enjoy,

Thanks,

[CanBid]

You did it! Works in ebay.ca now. Thanks Bud!

[hwnt]

ebay.com.au please

[ameise729]

ebay.de please!

[nsl]

[Cupid]

I keep getting Firefox telling me that this is a low rated plug-in and thus recommending that I remove it.

Please, if you like this additional tool can you take a few seconds to give it a high feedback rating so that we all don't keep getting prompted by Firefox about how badly rated it has been, up till now.

Thank you.

Thanks,

[Guest]

it's very good
thank

[paulbryan]

Is there a Chrome version of the add-on?

Also, it would be a great feature if, on the search results list, there was a checkbox to add all of the checked ones at once (same group, same price, same details, just multiple item numbers).

Thanks for doing this great add-on.

[paulbryan]

Also, could you add to the settings, a GROUP Number?

I use the Addon to go through a list and add a bunch of items.

Being able to put the Group and Bid Price would really help.

Also, the Groups drop-down only goes 1-5 ... Please make it at least 1-10, or make the Max Groups a setting as well.

Great Add-on. Thanks.

[Autosnipe]

No chrome version but could be ported to chrome, it wouldn't be possible to add multi snipe as Autosnipe can only send one item at a time. I could make a custom script if you want to email me directly. I will add groups 1-10 in next version. Thanks Keith

[Ramona]

Feature request: would it be possible to include the "Comment" field in the Android app?

[Ramona]

Bug Report: The "Country" reverts to United States, even though I set it to United Kingdom (and pressed Save). Has happened more than once.

Also: is there any way to get the current version from within the app, rather than having to look in the Google Play Store or under App Info? (I'm running V1.1.2)

[Guest]

(At)Ramona

Autosnipe isn't the android app please email Mario site founder with your bug

[Ramona]

Sorry about that - I posted to the wrong thread (I use both Autosnipe in Waterfox and the Android app on my portable handset).

[swlondon]

Hi Keith, any news on a Chrome extension/script? I'd be happy to try it or test it if you need a tester!

[im2bz2p345]

[Autosnipe]

Will ask Mario see what he thinks

Autosnipe

[Autosnipe]

@paulbryan
This is a feature Mario would have to change on the server page of autosnipe

Chrome Beta testers wanted - https://www.facebook.com/Autosnipe/

Thanks,
Keith

[mario]

paulbryan, Keith,

What exactly do you want changed? More groups added? Aside from that, anything else?

[Autosnipe]

@Mario

The Autosnipe.php the bid groups currently 1-5, would like 1-10

Keith

[unka]

Thanks - dropped many extensions over the years but this is a ripper - Thanks !

[TonO]

[Autosnipe]

Have added ebay.nl version 1.4.9

This is an excellent idea. I've downloaded it for Chrome and it works, but I will continue to do it the old fash - i- oned way. My reasons the same as someone else mentioned. When using this add on, my username I can put in with a single mouse click, but I have to type in my password for every single bid placing. Normally I would just cut and paste the item number to enter it into Gixen, so it's basically quicker doing what I was doing. Plus the offset and mirror offset don't give me the same options as I would normally use.

It's great, really appreciate it, but at this time not for me due to the above. thank you for your time in this, and if it gives more options in the future then I'd use it constantly.

[Autosnipe]

Have added

*ebay.be
*Dutch: benl.ebay.be
*French: befr.ebay.be

version 1.5.0

Gixen eBay Sniper Autosnipe (Firefox) Updated 1.5.2

Oops I broke something but fixed now

Thanks for reporting Geoff,

Keith

[twantiques]

When I click on the Gixen button on the Ebay listing the window opens and autofills with the new item number for about a second and is then replaced with the number and bid amount of the last bid I left. That auction has long since ended.

Hope this makes sense. Maybe I've done something wrong. Suggestions?

Thanks.
Terry

[Autosnipe]

Hi Terry,

This is due to autofill in the browser you are using or form filling extension.

Clear any saved password for gixen

If use this link will be empty if browser isn't filling it in

https://www.gixen.com/autosnipe.php

Keith

[privard]

The Add to Gixen link on eBay.com on Chrome was working perfectly. Now, when I click it, it shows me as "logged in as user [my username]" but when I enter a bid, it gives the error "You have to specify username." I tried to log out (so that I could log in again), and it gives the error message "Error occurred"--so I can't even log out. Chrome and Win10 (64 bit) are the latest updates, and the Gixen extension is version 2018.11.7.1.

I'd used it successfully recently as a free user, then because of that I paid to subscribe to the mirror--could that have made the difference?

Thanks for the great tool

[Autosnipe]

It is something Mario will have to look at but if you clear your cookies will log you and enable you to use Autosnipe again

[mario]

I think I found and fixed the bug, please try again now.

[privard]

Thanks, Mario. It's working again. (I'd already tried deleting cookies before posting--that didn't work.)

[Radagast]

Hi Keith, thanks for this addon

Please, can U add ebay.es to the working domains.
Thanks

[Keith]

Will do

[Autosnipe]

1.5.4 added ebay.es and updated min version of Firefox to version 57

Current Firefox is 66 may cause issues for people running older version of Firefox, just update to latest version if your computer will support it.

Enjoy
Keith

[joebloggs]

And waterfox users? 56.2 autosnipe still disabled

[Keith]

Never officially supported waterfox

But tested 1.5.2 working click Version History on firefox addon page, not sure why latest isn't working

Hi,

I'm using safari 16 and a few days ago the Gixen button stopped showing up on eBay.com.

I uninstalled and reinstalled but that didn't help, any ideas?

Thanks

[Funkton]

It's back now for me, I didn't change anything

[inhistime]

Hi Mario/Keith,

Can we get Brave browser support for the Gixen button in eBay?

[wpitman]

eBay Gixen Sniper is not working with my Safari. The button has disappeared. I've tried restarting my computer, turning the extension off and on, and removed the extension / reinstalling it / restarted the computer again. Nothing has brought back the button. What else can I do?

[mario]

If I recall well what Keith told me some time ago, Safari is no longer supported. Apple made it too difficult, if not impossible, to keep the add-on working.

[mario]

[Funkton]

[Funkton]

[mario]

I'll contact Keith and ask him to check.

[cheviot]

Also reporting that the Gixen button stopped appearing in Safari.

[Funkton]

[paulszym]

Hi Mario,

[steveklein]

I'm using Safari 16.1, and the Gixen button is gone.

I haven't bought anything from eBay in a few months, so I'm not sure when it stopped working.

(I don't know why anyone would say Apple has made it harder to develop extensions for Safari. They've made it easier with their extension converter.

I tried to post a link to Apple's developer documentation for using the extension converter, using the URL tag, but got this error:
"The word http// is on our list of spam related words."

Not sure how I'm supposed to post a link without http or https, but here's the link without the http:

developer.apple.com/news/?id=qiz0arxc

[mario]

Keith and I are working on this (Safari autosnipe).

He fixed the issue, however during the Apple review process they (somehow) noticed it's possible to come to the Gixen settings page that contains the non-Apple payment options.

So now I have to modify the backend script and remove the "View My Snipes" button that redirects session to the normal Gixen user interface.

[mario]

The issue with Safari Autosnipe is fixed now.

You may have to re-install the add-on.

[Funkton]

[dadutchie]

The Gixen extension seems to have stopped working in Chrome, and appears to have been removed from the Chrome store.

[url]chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/gixen-ebay-sniper-autosni/nfjjhbbnailabfbenccobieecimkbmji[/url] gives a 404 error and in Chrome the extension states "This extension violates the Chrome Web Store policy."

[Autosnipe]

[Autosnipe]

Chrome extension is back online

[Cupid]

On this thread it is being reported that there's unhelpful interaction between the Firefox plug-in and the LOGOUT feature of the website interface:

[cordschneider]

When using the Autosnipe extension in a Chrome-compatible browser, I notice that the autosnipe.php requires entering your Gixen username/password.

If you're already logged into Gixen, can the username/password not be picked up from the browser session? In other words, the fields should only be displayed if the user isn't already logged in. This would save additional clicks - and for users with strong passwords stored in a password manager, it would save a heap of time.

Thoughts?

[ssateneth]

i use the chrome gixen extension addon. ver 2022.11.15. as of recent, snipes I add when adding from the item page do successfully create a popup to add in a snipe, but the \"added item 1234565874997\" followup screen, there is a faded overlay with \"loading...\" and a broken image icon.

Thank you for reporting this. Please email me and include your username.

There's more unwelcome interaction between this and the logged on session reported here.

When I try to add an item to Gixen using the Chrome extension, I get the error:

Error: Array
Could not add this item.

I can add the items manually through Gixen. The error is only with the Chrome extension.

[mario]

Can you please email me? Include your username and the item you tried to add.

I just used the extension in Chrome and added a snipe with no issues. I am unable to replicate the problem.

[Goofy3696]

It is quite obvious that this Extension has NOT been updated in several years. I am running Firefox 134.0.2 (64-bit) and do not receive any sub-window on the auction screen allowing me to enter a bid. Either update the Extension or remove it. So others who are considering using it will not be fooled.

hi. i have discovered that, unless i am doing something different/wrong now, gixen isnt auto bidding for me. i just lost a mobile phone i was after and no bid went in for me. very disappointed but not sure what happened. used to work just fine. suggestions would be good if anyone can help please

MTIA

[Cupid]

This isn't really the thread for failed snipes, since this tool just helps you to schedule them.

Please can you start a new thread in the support area and provide more details like the auction id, and the status that Gixen gave the sipe after the auction had completed.
