 |
|
Hello Gixen Support,
I have recently experienced multiple cases where my scheduled snipes failed with the message ?AUCTION ENDED EARLY OR SNIPE LATE.?
One recent example:
eBay Item: 287605422556
Item: POP 1 Union Arena Release Event Winner Haise Sasaki BGS Pristine 10 Black Label
My scheduled bid: USD 229.00
Winning price: USD 205.50
The auction appears to have ended normally with 25 bids, but Gixen did not place my bid. Since my maximum bid was higher than the winning price, I would like to understand why the snipe was not submitted successfully.
This has happened several times recently, so could you please check the server/bid logs for my account and let me know what is causing these repeated failures?
Thank you for your help. |

When you say 'multiple' and 'several', please could you express this as a percentage of the snipes that you've scheduled ?
Are you a Mirror subscriber ? If so what offset are you scheduling for these snipes ?
Also if you have a subscription please can you check what status you are getting on the Mirror tab, is that also 'AUCTION ENDED EARLY OR SNIPE LATE' ?

I've had about two of these \"AUCTION ENDED EARLY OR SNIPE LATE\" in the past month.
Main shows \"AUCTION ENDED EARLY OR SNIPE LATE\"
Mirror shows \"AUCTION ENDED EARLY\"
Offset currently 6 and 3
Latest on item 960049090426 |

Apparently Ebay had a bit of a wobble for a minute or so when your snipe was to be submitted.
It's a rare occurrence, you were just unlucky to hit this one.
Sunday evening is definitely the most busy time for Ebay.

| Would a longer offset help on the weekends? Or maybe in general? |

No, typically when there is a problem - there is a problem, nothing helps. But to confirm, this is very rare. |
