Reduced Number of Multiple Bid Servers for Free Members

Reduced Number of Multiple Bid Servers for Free Members.

At JustSnipe, we place your snipe from multiple servers location to ensure that your bid is getting place. Our experienced users will see that in many of the bid-history logs, there are multiple bids placed in the same seconds with the same bid amount. This feature is designed to increase the winning chance of JustSnipe users when a snipe was delayed by the internet traffic, the second server will take over and place the bid to the auction.

Unfortunately, this feature may no longer be available for members in the Free Plan.

This decisioin came in shortly after there were a few users who tried to take advantage in every way of the free auction sniper service that we offered.

eBay Page Format Changed 1/25/2005

Update (09:00 1/26/2005), the flux of changes on ebay is still going on but we have applied the new patch that is now working. We expect everything is returning to normal again. Though we will be on the lookout for any changes in the next 12 hours.

We are sorry for any losing bids. This change is unexpected and we have been working hard to find a fix to this problem. Thank you for your understanding.


-----
Update (5:30 1/26/2005), there have been a flux of changes to the page format. Some bids are getting through but some are not. Please use extreme caution in the next 12 hours. It seems that the earlier patch did not give a good performance. We are working to find a new patch to correct it.


-----
Update (19:10), a temporary workaround and patch has been applied to the snipe process and, in the mean time, we temporary increase your leading time to compensate with the patch.


-----
Starting around 17:00, eBay has changed its page format and may cause some users to get the "Snipe Error" Message. Bids may not be placed on ebay. We are working to correct the issue and will post any update soon.
