I missed out on a good coin last night....Darn

This ever happen to anyone?

FilthyBroke · May 28, 2008 1:58AM

What did you do to get blocked by this guy?

ziggy29 · May 28, 2008 1:58AM

Was your snipe higher than the winning bid? You may want to have some fun and taunt the seller and tell them that they left some money on the table by blocking you...

lkrarecoins · May 28, 2008 2:01AM

What did you do to get blocked by this guy? Not sure...As a matter of fact, i dont even know if i ever bought a coin from him/her.

lkrarecoins · May 28, 2008 2:02AM

Was your snipe higher than the winning bid? Yes....my bid was $72, & coin sold for $70

So are you saying that somehow this guy is blocking bids from sniping software (unlikely) or this guy has blocked you for some reason? --Jerry

to test it, i bid on one of his coins today.....manually....and it was fine.....so, i cant figure out what happened, unless something went haywire with my snipe???? hmmmm

<< <i>Was your snipe higher than the winning bid? Yes....my bid was $72, & coin sold for $70 >>

What is the bid increment in that price range? If it is $2.50 then your bid may not have been high enough but I think it is less so your bid would have been accepted by ebay if you weren't blocked. --Jerry

Don't know what could've happened then....unless you got a glitch in your snipe program.

I could be blocked but just haven't found out yet!

lkrarecoins · May 28, 2008 2:07AM

no biggie....it wasnt a catastrophe....blocking snipes wouldnt make sense....who would want less money???

PerryHall · May 28, 2008 2:10AM

Maybe your snipe bid was a couple of seconds too late.

2manycoins2fewfunds · May 28, 2008 2:10AM

I've blocked a couple of guys before they bid simply based on their questions, past history with other sellers and their attitudes.

Silverstate · May 28, 2008 2:17AM

Have you purchased from the seller before?

Strange?

My sniping program works well, unless my internet connection is bad or the computer is running slow ect.

Then it was a glitch in the snipe. There is no way to block a bidder from sniping without blocking the bidder completely.

Agreed, Russ....it doesnt make sense...must be something whacky

CaptHenway · May 28, 2008 2:46AM

He who lives by the snipe dies by the snipe.

Res · May 28, 2008 2:47AM

Anybody ever been blocked before? Doesn't ebay send a message to you telling you your bid was blocked?

ricko · May 28, 2008 2:48AM

I have never had a snipe blocked... and I always snipe. Must have been something else... Cheers, RickO

remumc · May 28, 2008 2:58AM

I had a couple blocked the other day also. Found out I needed to update my data with Auction Sniper and Paypal.. Wouldn't take me because I wasn't a confirmed Paypal buyer or something like that. I was, it just needed updating.

Seems to be fixed now.

Regards,

Wayne

I just had a snipe blocked.... on a boat seat.
something is going on with ebay and sniper

It happened to me last week. Its paypal. The auction stated paypal account required. I had not problem if it did not require a paypal account under the bid box. I found my ebay email account was not the same password as my paypal password.

Here is what they said

Thank you for contacting PayPal with your concern.

I can see where you would question this and I am sorry you are having
this situation.

I am seeing nothing as far as your account status that would cause
PayPal to prevent you from normal activity.

I can tell you that what may cause a problem is if your Ebay information
is not current within the PayPal system. PayPal does require
account information to be kept current.

First, remove an eBay ID from your PayPal account, please follow these
steps:

1. Log in to your account at https://www.paypal.com

2. Click on the "Profile" subtab.

3. Click "Auctions" located under "Selling Preferences."

4. Use the radio buttons to select the User ID to remove and click
"Remove."

5. Click "Remove" again.

Second, add a new eBay User ID, please follow these steps:

1. Log in to your account at https://www.paypal.com

2. Click on the "Profile" subtab.

3. Click "Auctions" located under "Selling Preferences."

4. Click "Add."

5. Enter your eBay User ID and password

6. Click "Add" again.

7. To activate the Automatic Logo Insertion, click the "Off" link
next to the User ID.

8. Select the "On" radio button and click "Update."

Please keep your eBay User ID up-to-date. An incorrect User ID may
affect your notifications or PayPal logo insertions.

Please allow 24 hours for the changes to take place. Also, to provide
the most secure service as possible, you may be asked to complete a
Security Challenge. Simply type the characters you see into the blank
field, without spaces.

If the eBay User ID that you are trying to use is on a closed account,
you will need to wait 10-14 days from the time the account was closed to
re-add your User ID to your new account.

Thank you for being a valuable member of the PayPal community.

Sincerely,
Sheri
