eBay Page Format Changed

This Issue has been fixed. Please let us know if you find any problem (especially ending time) after you have scheduled a snipe. We need your input to fine tune the program. Thank you.

-----
Starting around 12:00 of 10/31/08, page format on eBay has been changed and caused problem to our system. The new change rendered our system to miscalculate ending time of auction. Some users may experience snipe being placed too early and some users may experience snipe being placed too late (with error "Auction Ended Early").

Currently, engineer is working to correct the issue. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

Problem Adding New Snipe for Auction Listed in eBay France and Germany

Update (18:00 10/30/08), we have implemented a temporary fix for this problem. You should be able to schedule snipe again. If there is any problem, please let us know the auction number.

-----

Starting today (10/28/08), we are seeing an error message "We cannot process snipe order for any auction that will be closed in less than 2 minutes" when you schedule new snipe for auction listed in eBay France or Germany.

The issue occurs mostly to auction that offers "Personal Check" as the only payment method. Other auctions that offer other methods of payment (or combination of payment plus "Personal Check") does not affect with this issue.

Currently we are working to find a workaround or any permanent solution.
