eBay Verification Image on Account with Weak Password

In the past couple of days, we have noticed that some users experienced failed bid with "Snipe error" message. This issue occurs to those account with weak password combination.

Recently, eBay has been blocking users with weak password combination. If you are getting "Snipe Error" message, you should try to change your password combination on eBay to a stronger one (with letters, numbers, and capital letters). Once you have done so and then updated your eBay information on JustSnipe accordingly, you can rest assured that our service will be able to successfully place bids on your behalf.

Note that, some users may not see this warning when signing in to their eBay account but the warning may be seen from our automated system.

eBay Verification Image

eBay Verification Image
From 13:25 5/26/08, eBay starts to place a verification image (CAPTCHA) on eBay sign-in page and it causes a warning " ... You may either have a warning in your eBay account ... " when you sign in to JustSnipe account.

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.

We will post more update.

************

We notice that the similar issue has been occurring between 19:00 - 19:45 in past 5-6 days. All of the snipe orders were executed from our servers and arrived on eBay sign-in page on time. The delay occurred when snipe order reached eBay bidding server (offer.ebay.com). It seems that some of eBay bidding server (offer.ebay.com) might have issues with the atomic time clock.
