|
|
Due to a technical glitch, Gixen requests to eBay are declined at the moment. I am working on a fix for this. Snipes are failing at the moment both on main and mirror.
Please do not email me, I am too busy to be able to respond to emails at the moment. Follow this forum thread instead. |

Do we have any updates or an ETA or when this issue will be resolved? I had setup a few bids today and they all ended up failing due to this issue. These were the big ones that I was looking forward to and to see the item being sold at around $600 when my bid was $1200 hurts my soul. I already have more than 10 of these setup already and I need to know when this issue will get resolved as a paid member. |

The issue is resolved now. I am talking to eBay and looking into making sure this does not happen again. |

Would it be possible in the future to send out a notice via email or message about issues like this? I lost on an item that was needed for an upcoming wedding, and had no idea there was a systemic problem. |

I imagine if and when issues like this are anticipated they are resolved before they actually impact the function, negating the need for any such warning.
It looks like this issue was resolved in a few hours. Personally I prefer the greatest priority was placed on reducing the outage, and not on communication, either here or by other means. _________________ Mark |

Well it clearly impacted functionality because people including myself missed out on items. If you have a stock email ready to go and a distribution list, it would take a minute at most to get it sent out, surely? |

Certainly, and acknowledged as such in my first paragraph.

I have stock emails for many situations, that I've built up over the years...
I generally find that I end up writing a new one (admittedly perhaps based partly on those), because every situation is unique... so, that effort I made to produce those was actually mostly wasted.
Also bear in mind issues that affect the Gixen functions might well be with the same resources that would be used to send out bulk emails anyway... clearly in those circumstances they do have to be fixed first before it could even be contemplated to send out all those emails. _________________ Mark |
