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.

At this time, some of bidding servers are NOT affected by this implementation but please use caution if you have bid that is ending in the next few hours. If eBay starts to block certain IP address a lot of users may experience lost bids due to CAPTCHA implementation.
