				| 
 |  
				| On the last two bids I meant to place (via the Gixen API), I got back the message: 
  	  | Code: |  	  | <html><body>DISABLED TEMPORARILY | 
 
 Is that correct?  Any word on how long the API will be down?  Or has the API been changed a bit?  Thanks!
 
 Unfortunately I didn't see the error message on either bid, so I missed the auctions.
  I had my script look for the word "error" in the response text, rather than doing the smart thing, and verify a positive confirmation. |  |

				| Sorry about that - I disabled it recently when eBay was making changes / problems. It's enabled again now. Hopefully you can find similar items again. |  |

				| Thanks for reactivating it! 
 And that's okay about the brief outage -- There are plenty of other auctions I wouldn't have bid on if it weren't for the service.  (Knowing that I can cancel a bid if I change my mind is just as important for me as getting the bid in toward the end of the auction.)
