eBay Page Format Changes : RESOLVED

(18:50) Some users may still receive
"You have entered bid that is below the current price, please correct your bid."
error message eventhough max bid is well over current bid price.
If you have this problem, please send us an email with the auction number in question and the max bid that you have entered. We will investigate this issue.
Thank you.


-----
(12:00 PM) The problem has been resolved.

-----
eBay has made a slight changes to its page format and may cause some users to get the "internal Error" Message when trying to schedule new snipes.

We are working to correct this issue.

The workaround to avoid this error message is to add the auction into "JustWatch" list and can schedule your snipe later on.

All bids are executed as normal.

We will post any update soon when the issue has been corrected.
We are sorry for any convenience.

Emergency Server Maintenance

We have fixed the problem that caused this failure.
Although we have fixed the problem and brought back the system to the stable state, there are some parts of data that we could not extract from the backup.
- Some users in FREE PLAN that registered during June 6th to June 14th will need to re-register again otherwise you will not be able to sign in. Paid members are not affected by this.
- Some snipe data that were scheduled earlier (during June 6th to June 14th) will not be shown in the "Ended Auction" section. If you need this data, please email us again. We will see if the extracted data does not corrupt the current data.
- Paid members who are affected by this incident will receive a refund or credit.
PayPal - will receive a refund in the next 7-14 days.
