Does anyone know if eBay is disallowing Snipe bids now?                 I have a bunch scheduled to go for the next couple of days.
 
 
Please advise.
 
 
Thanks,

				Sorry - I don't know why I'm here as a "Guest" because I'm signed in.  When I login up above on this page, I just get the list of my Snipes.

				Blackeye,
 
 
You won this auction. Not sure why you think another buyer did. Log in to eBay and check again. |

Hi,
 
 
I've placed a bid to test if Snipes are being blocked by eBay.  The problem is that it's 7+ hours away.  (Time now:  10:17am Eastern Time)
 
 
The Item # is:  172724654763 "Curvy Verses" for anyone who cares to follow the status.

Hi,
 
 
I just tried to find the above Item Number on eBay and it's gone already.  This auction ended yesterday, but you can't see it even with "Completed Items" checked.
 
 
I think that's fishy although I haven't checked for something like this before.  I wonder if Sniped Auctions are being removed by eBay?
 
 
Ooooooh!  Conspiracy Theory.  I like it!

Hi,
 
 
UPDATE:  To test this, I just checked the Item Number for an item I won already (it's in my Purchase History list.)
 
 
The item didn't show up, but when I checked "Completed Items" my item showed up.  Now that might be because it's my own item, but I thought I'd share that.

Some very good news!  MY SNIPE FIRED SUCCESSFULLY and I won the auction.  To be sure -- I took it all the way through to paying for it, so I won the auction by a Gixen Snipe.
 
 
So ALL of our snipes should work fine.

				There wasn't really a great deal of doubt about it was there ?
 
 
With respect to finding sold items... Ebay changed their search so you could no longer find any sold items via the auction number quite a while ago...
 
 
If you want to get to their auction page just append:
 
 
http://www.ebay.com/itm/
 
 
to the front:
 
 
eg:
 
 
http://www.ebay.com/itm/152578039621
 
 
and you can still access the page for some months after the auction completes. _________________ Mark |
