				| 
 |  
				| eBay item 325969387685 closed far below my bid amount.  My bid was not submitted by Gixen and I got the message \"Too many requests.\" for the reason why the bid did not go through. 
 What does this mean and is it a common issue now.  The item I missed out on was quite rare (only 5 copies exist) and likely will not have a second opportunity to get one.

				| 
 |  
				| I've been losing auctions despite bidding considerably more than the closing bid - see for example ebay number 335210666063 
 i've been getting a \"too many requests\" message for all my bids today
 
 Can this be fixed?

				| I contacted eBay about this, the problem lasted for about 3 hours last night. It may take them a few days to respond however. 
 At the moment, I see nothing of a kind again, things seem to be back to normal.
 
 My apology to all affected users.

				| Same here, item 315091157271. A quick search shows that this has happened before and is a problem with the gixen servers contacting eBays. Hopefully it gets resolved soon. |  |

				| Why did I lose with \"Too many requests\"? I have never seen this before and my bid was way higher than the winner.

 My recollection, here, was that it was due to Ebay not understanding/underestimating the capacity of Gixen servers to provide bidding opportunities to its' customers and therefore setting a limit too low without adequate consultation with Mario.
 
 It's unlikely that such a misunderstanding would reoccur, in the same way.  I don't however discount the possibility of Ebay getting something wrong, they demonstrate their ability to do that on a very regular basis.

 |  
				| Hi Mario, 
 I got the \"too many requests\" problem on item 156545739007
 
 It happened on some others, but that's the only item number I have handy.
 
 Thanks,
 Greg
