 |
|
Hi,
I have a list of snipes saved and yesterday, I added another snipe about 30 minutes before the end of the auction. I got the "Password refused, eBay asked for verification code" error and lost the item.
Last night, another snipe was about to close from my list, so I manually bid just to make sure and CMA. Well, this snipe bid went through without a hitch.
I've never seen a second screen (for verification code or whatever) when logging in to eBay. Please explain.
Thanks,
trub |

trub,
eBay started inserting an additional screen asking for verification code. Because you don't get it from your home internet connection does not mean that Gixen doesn't get it either - eBay may insert this screen based on IP address, password strength or other.
I am working on resolving this, and thinking about a long-term solution. This will take some time. The only thing you can do on your side for now is make sure that you have a very strong password.
Mario. |

Thanks Mario!
I appreciate your efforts!!! (and have recommended Gixen to all of my friends).
I wasn't trying to sound mad or unthankful with my original post. I just wanted you to get a better understanding of my situation and the error that occured.
A few more questions. What difference does it make if I have a very strong password? If I do, will eBay be satisfied and get off my back?
Cheers,
trub |

Trust me as a sysadmin, strong password never hurt anyone.
eBay will simply have less reasons to insert captcha if you use it with eBay. |

I have the same issue.
I'm not a frequent Gixen user but if this can't be overcome, I can't be a user at all any more. |

Hi all,
Just a question about the password, I'm not sure to have understand it: if I change my current Ebay/Gixen password to a very long and complicated one, I may overcome this problem?
I'm asking this because my current password seems to me complicated enough, six letters and four numbers. |

Have you experienced this problem already? 6 letters and 4 numbers seems strong enough to me, unless if those 6 letters are a dictionary word. |

It may be, it's the name of an aircraft, but a French one and not a very well-known one.
P.S. By the way, thanks a lot for your great service. |
