Resolved: Changes to eBay pages

On Feb 24, 2004, eBay has made some changes to its page format. These changes may cause an incorrect display of snipe status -- "Snipe Error" -- while those bids were being properly executed. Also it may cause missing snipes to some users. We are working to correct the issue.

Update (21:30): Preliminary workaround has been applied. There should be no missing snipe. We will later apply the secondary patch on Wednesday morning (approx 00:30) and may require a reboot. We will post an update again when the process is done.

Update (00:27 2/25/2004): We have sucessfully updated and rebooted our server. The issue has been resolved.

Thank you.

Lead Time (Buffer Time) can be adjusted to 1 Second

We will TEMPORARY allow users (paid members) to adjust their lead time down to 1 second before auction ends. Please note that the possibility of missing snipe caused by network delayed or slowness is greater when the lead time is set below 5-6 seconds. We will evaluate the result and determine if this can be a permanent solution.

From what we have tested, snipes are being placed correctly but often times our redundant servers (backup) have a tendency of missing snipe when using any lead time below 3 seconds. Please use your caution when trying to adjust lead time below 5 second.

Thank you.

We just make an update to the Preference page layout.

Earlier some users had to scroll down the page in order to update their "Auction Profile", which might confuse with "JustSnipe Profile". We now make an update to this page by displaying both "Auction Profile" and "JustSnipe Profile" on parallel columns.

Thank you for your feedbacks and have a great new year.
