Problems When Import Watch Items from eBay Watch List

2/12/2009 17:00. We are aware of issues when trying to import watch items from eBay. The issue has been fixed.

In the past few weeks, eBay had changed its page format on the watch list page that caused problem when we try to transfer the list from your account. We have found the cause and find a solution to have the importing feature working again. However, this feature might not still be stable. Please let us know if you find a problem or cannot import the watch list items from your account.

eBay is Making Winning Bidder IDs Anonymous

In the past few days (starting around 11/10/2008), eBay started to make the winning bidder IDs anonymous.

http://www2.ebay.com/aw/core/200810281156252.html

This effort is to protect bidders from malicious emails and to increase security in eBay. Though, it would prevent "Snipe Group" feature to work effectively. Because our system needs to check the winning bidder at the end of auction to determine the winner. And, with this new security implementation, our system can only pickup the anonymized id such as x***y.



All systems and bidding processes are working without any problem.


- Please do not use "Snipe Group" during this time.
- Winning bidder may not display the correct winner ID.
- Winning bidder may display an ID of the seller.


We will post more update for this issue.

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.

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

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.
