Another glitch-- manual bidding
It looks like there may have been some more issues on eBay tonight. I was trying to bid/snipe 4 items, all ending within seconds of eachother. To help counter their ending times being the same, I had 3 devices open- computer, tablet, phone. I was able to enter bids on each, but when trying to confirm the bids, all three screens froze up for several minutes (buttons didn't work, counter/clock froze, etc). Two were using my wifi, but one was 4G so it is doubtful is was just a home wifi issue.
Once my screens started working again, all items had closed. They all sold for less than I'd expect, so not sure if anyone else had similar issues.

I had two snipes not go through last night. One said "bid not placed" and the other said "bid too low" (it wasn't). Anyone else having these issues (again)?

Quote:
"Ebay has evolved their security protocol after their security breach in May and has started the use of random CAPTCHAs. A CAPTCHA (an acronym for "Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart") is a type of challenge-response test used in computing to determine whether or not the user is human. When this occurs, you will see a no bid placed response and the eBay bidding log will note the request for an eBay authorization code. We will keep you updated on the use and frequency of eBay CAPTCHAs as we learn more. Thank you for your understanding." it would seem to me that the CAPTCHA use would derail ANY sniping service.

sorry for the bump, but the above ^^^ has got me a little freaked out. I missed two snipes, an hour apart, for this same reason (according to tech support). If ebay uses CAPTCHAS a lot, it is going to make ANY sniping service useless. Thoughts?
