Same here (since last night). And I know a few others who have reported no access as well.

Well this is a problem...I literally use it almost every day.


This site can’t be reached

The webpage at http://www.gavelsnipe.com/ might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.
Search Google for gavelsnipe

yes it's down and even more disturbing, isitdown.com is reporting that it has been down for a week!

I love that site and it keeps much better history now than ebay does. Hope it is not gone forever!

It hasn't been down for a week. I have been using it every day. I guess I haven't gone on there in the last half a day to a day, so my guess is that is when it went down.....(as stated above)

*My last win from there was on 3/5/2017 but I am almost sure I checked it after that.....

Yes...any information regarding Gavelsnipe or any other free sniping services would be greatly appreciated. Big bummer!

Hmmm...still down. I noticed it down last night around 9PM CDT, but it was definitely up earlier in the day because I set a snipe. I currently have 3 or 4 snipes set, I hope they go off.

I just checked my email and they sent an update email at 5:01 AM showing my current snipes. Maybe the site is inaccessible, but still working?

I'm pretty sure they posted a note at the top of the page a few days ago saying they were taking the site down for a day for maintenance and you would not be able to enter new snipes but that all snipes already in the cue would be executed.

Not sure if the site has been up since then ...

Cheers,
Patrick

Guess not everything I read on the internet is true,

glad it's nothing major and is still working and will be up after maintenance.

Their timing is clearly off. I don't think we (I didn't) ever doubted what you said but we knew differently as we use it daily.

I can't access their site either but, I had set some snipes a while ago and noticed when checking Ebay that at least one of them was executed as I ended up winning an item a little earlier today. So they are still placing bids that were already in their queue before the maintenance shutdown.

Still down 24 hours later...wonder what is taking so long? So what if you wanted to cancel your snipe? Out of luck, eh?

still down, but my gavelsnip bid executed yesterday evening and I won an auction. Unfortunately it was for a toner cartridge, nothing too exciting. I guess it's impossible to place bids until they are back up.

I sent them an email with no response. I still can't add my eBay info - says invalid username/password. Will be sticking with Gixen unless they can get their site working.

Is it asking for users to re-enter eBay credentials?

It worked for me once again last night. I also have a snipe set to go off in a little over 4 hours.

It must be working only for users who already had their eBay logins saved. As a new gavelsnipe member, it is refusing my eBay login and password. I got it to accept Heritage, but the eBay part is still broken on their end.

FWIW my snipe went off just fine. Also it allowed me to set some new snipes tonight. I'm guessing new people trying to sign up are the only people having issues.

I bid on quite a few and none were executed. The site said invalid login/password. Half way through I removed and then entered my login and password, still didn't work. Oh well, saved me some $$

Oddly enough it did make me log in twice today when in the past I only had to log in once every few weeks or so.

I had the same error tonight. More frustrating as my bid was for more than what the item sold for.

FWIW I am not new to GavelSnipe, (or eBay) and my password for both has not changed in a long time.

It's suddenly become less reliable than before... for me anyhow.

I'm also a long time user of eBay and probably a 3 year user of GS. Maybe it's time to make a change.

To me, it sounds like the site was hacked?

Lots of that going on lately it seems. My wife just told me this morning, but not sure where she heard it, and that is the electronic way of filing one's tx's we use up here in Canada. (Not sure if that is a CDN thing only?)

There are multiple ones I believe and she told me all of them were down until further notice as there was a major breach/hack.

Not sure what everyone uses here as protection for their computers, but I use Avast Professional, Super anti spyware and CCleaner exclusively and run them quite often. (SAS and CC multiple times a day)

I get them, SAS and CC, from filehippo.com. They are free and that site has no extras that some others sites like to add.

So far so good with me, but despite those I use, nothing is 100% as hackers are relentless! Make sure you do updates often and always log off completely, not just let your computer go into sleep mode.

Default Still not working for me today either

...

As of 9:35 AM this morning, I am still getting similar error message of invalid username or password.

For what is it worth, I was one of those unfortunate few whom had GavelSnipe
bids programmed that failed to execute. Very disappointing.

Once their site came back up a few days ago new snipes were set and were executed successfully with no issues over the weekend.

All my snipes went off fine last night, but now I can't log in. Even when I request a new password and enter it, nothing happens. Hope it gets fixed because I really like using their service.

They are still messed up with my stuff.

I had a snipe yesterday that failed to execute for "Invalid Auction Site Username or Password."

When I contacted them they replied, "This is fixed. eBay made changes to their site code that processes logins. You may need to update your eBay credentials," which is crap because I've been signing into ebay without issue using the same old credentials.

Now I can't even log in to my Gavelsnipe account despite the fact that they have sent me two new temporary passwords!

Yep, looks like it won't let me log in now either. They are still sending emails and clearly they know there is a problem. Is it too much to keep us updated on what is happening?

I just received a response from Gavel snip support:

> Unable to execute snipes. States invalid auction site login or
> password.

This is fixed. eBay made changes to their site code that processes
logins. You may need to update your eBay credentials.

READ THIS ENTIRE MESSAGE

Your GavelSnipe.com username/password and your eBay (or other auction
account) username/password have nothing to do with each other even if
you have set them to be the same (not recommended).

GAVELSNIPE.COM USERNAME/PASSWORD

Your Gavelsnipe.com username is permanent, unique and can't be changed.


We'll see
