GavelSnipe Tonight

[Edwolf1963]

John, thanks - had no idea .. especially since it was fine for the first few snipes. I've had same eBay password for a while now - no issues, but thanks again - will take the steps you noted and hope that fixes the problem.

Same thing costs me a nice card. It must be a glitch because my eBay password is complex and no problem with prior snipes. Yes , as a seller I got hit on a couple items

I had not heard of this prior (John, again, thank you) - all was fine on first few snipes - then this. I had several snipes in w/a lot of auction style listings ending last night, typical Sunday night, etc. Some things came in well below what I had sniped at - and relatively low at that. I also won a few that I thought went well lower than I had anticipated - which made me question if that had hit others last night as well.

John noted this usually happens Sunday nights - I would think that's the worst possible time to run spider/bot cleaners as many they "clean" are "good" bots - real human bids/traffic. As noted, i would bet there are a few consignors to PWCC who last night got a ROI far less than they had expected.

Ed,

Yes, had same problem last night --- "insecure ebay password"

I'm not going to mess around with passwords, just think it was an unfortunate gavilsnipe situation.

BTW (but will live )

Good ol' Ebay, lookin' out for us again.

I had the same problem last night. Would have been the high bidder on an E-98. I noticed it in time to make my other bids the old fashioned way.
