Gixen failed to bid on last 3 auctions

[constance-merricat]

Hi,

I have been using gixen on and off for the past year and it is a great and reliable service. However, it has failed to bid on my last 3 auctions and returned an unknown error which has never happened before.
I haven't changed my Ebay password recently but my last 2 bids (BINs) were done manually. Could that be the problem?

I don't have the auction #s handy ( I deleted them already) but I could look it up if necessary.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Found them. Below is the message eBay returned to Gixen. Essentially they ask for your credit card number in order for you to keep bidding. I believe this is one of their measures to reduce the number of non-paying bidders.
