When we get more abuse from a single IP address than we do legitimate traffic, we really have no choice but to block it. If you don't think you did anything wrong and don't understand why your IP was banned.Īre you using a proxy server or running a browser add-on for "privacy", "being anonymous", or "changing your region" or to view country-specific content, such as Tor or Zenmate? Unfortunately, so do spammers and hackers. IP bans will be reconsidered on a case-by-case basis if you were running a bot and did not understand the consequences, but typically not for spamming, hacking, or other abuse. If you are responsible for one of the above issues. Having an excessive number of banned accounts in a very short timeframe.Running a web bot/spider that downloaded a very large number of pages - more than could possibly justified as "personal use".Automated spam (advertising) or intrustion attempts (hacking).Ebay only displays the amount other bidders would have to pay if no more bids are placed, which, as I said, is one bid increment more than the next highest bidder.Your current IP address has been blocked due to bad behavior, which generally means one of the following: The true amount that the highest bidder entered as their bid might be much higher than you are seeing. This does not, however, mean that you will only ever pay one bid increment more than the price you see just before your bid is placed. The way that Ebay bidding works, you only ever have to pay, at most, one bid increment more than the next highest bidder was prepared to bid. Sniping is entering the bid just seconds before the end of the auction, by default with Gixen that will be about 6 seconds before the end. I recommend that you read the FAQ tab above. What if the highest bid is only ÂGBP 90 a second before ending will I only pay the next increment up say ÂGBP 95?
I have put in a bid for an item using Gixen Posted: Sat 9:51 am Post subject: First time user
Gixen NEVER monitors the interim bidding while the auction is open (other than to occasionally update the 'current amount bid' for info purposes only), and NEVER raises or lowers the amount you set.this single fact keeps the system practical and working, but is very hard for many people to follow because of the complexities of the EBay system. It is all the other dynamics on EBAY's end that determine the winner and the final amount that will get paid. To summarize: the amount you enter in Gixen WILL be bid by Gixen, in your name, seconds before the auction closes. The amount you are told to pay is often NOT the total amount you entered in Gixen.(or directly in EBay, for that matter, either.) - it is often less than that amount. NOTE FURTHER if you are declared the highest VALID bidder, EBAY tells you to pay ONLY one bid increment higher than the next higher VALID bidder - or the reserve amount if you were the only one higher than the reserve. etc.), whether the reserve (if any) has been met, and then EBAY declares the highest VALID bidder the winner, and EBAY tells the highest VALID bidder how much to pay the seller to complete the auction. It is EBAY's server which sorts out -at the end of the auction - what bids have been received, which ones are valid (sellers can deny bids from ship-to areas, feedback amounts, etc. NOTE that the bid amount YOU enter in Gixen is what Gixen sends to EBay at the very end of the auction - there is NEVER any 'dickering' or 'dithering' or raising of bid amounts back and forth between EBay and Gixen. This happens whenever the bid is scheduled by EBay to close, without you having to do anything else. (If using Mirror, you can select each 'offset time' in seconds measured back from the auction close). (Don't feel bad, this really is NOT obvious.) The Gixen server, and/or the Gixen Mirror server, use your bidder ID and the amount you assigned to the item, at the 'offset time(s)' you selected, to enter your bid into EBay. You do not have to 'submit' anything (else) once you have scheduled an item and entered the amount you want Gixen to bid on your behalf.
