Gixen Reporting Error: My winning automatically submitted by Gixen was $61.00, not $43.00, so I won that auction for $1.51 USD less than my maximum bid, not $19.51 USD less than my maximum bid.

Gixen software performed perfectly until AFTER this auction's closing time. Then it sent to me this notice claiming the closing-winning price was $43.00 (incorrect) rather than $61.00 (correct value). eBay's history of bids shows no time at which $43.00 was a current top bid, however, at one time $42.00 was the current top bid.

I hope this report is helpful.

There was then another bid of $60.00 placed 24 May 2024 at 1:51:41pm PDT which raised the auction price once again to your winning amount of $61.00.
