Explanation |
| Ready |
Your snipe is waiting to be placed.
|
| |
|
| Success |
Your snipe was successfully placed and you are currently the high bidder.
|
| You Won! |
Your snipe was successfully placed and you have won the item.
|
| |
|
| Bid Too Low |
Your snipe could not be placed because your maximum bid was below the current minimum bid.
|
| Unable to Sign In |
To place your bid, we signin to eBay up to three minutes before
your snipe time. This status means eBay did not respond to our login
requests soon enough for us to place the snipe. This error should be rare,
and only happens during extreme spikes in eBay traffic.
|
| Bid Below Increment |
Your snipe could not be placed because your maximum bid was below the next bid increment for the item. Read about eBay's bid increment rules
here.
|
| Proxy Outbid |
Your Snipe was successfully placed but, you were outbid by a previous bidder.
|
| Reserve Not Met |
Your snipe was successfully placed and you are currently the high bidder, but the reserve price has not been met.
|
| Not in Time |
We sent your snipe to eBay at your requested time, however eBay
did not accept your bid until after the auction ended. This occurred because you set
your lead time well below our recommended 7 seconds, or excessive internet traffic
prevented your bid from going through in time. This problem is nearly always caused by eBay
and is beyond our control, but we do all we can to lessen the chance of this happening. In fact
we monitor eBay's response times and compensate automatically. So rest assured
that we are doing all we can and are giving you the highest chance of
winning because of our automatic adjustments to compensate for eBay's current speed.
|
| Ended Early |
The item seller ended this auction early. This could be because there was an error in the auction, or the seller simply wanted to end the auction and sell to the current highest bidder. There is nothing we can do in this situation.
|
| Invalid UserID/Pass |
The username and password for your AuctionSniper account did not match your username and password on eBay. We were unable
to place your snipe. Please update your username and password
here.
|
| Deleted |
Your snipe has been deleted.
|
| Large Bid Restricted |
Your snipe could not be place because
your eBay account has not been verified for large bids. Read about eBay's large
bid rules
here.
|
| Bid Group not placed |
A bid on this item was not placed because there are items in your bid group
that have not yet been resolved. To keep from winning more items than you have
specified in your bidgroup, we will not place a new bid if we haven't resolved
the won/lost status of a previous bid. If you have additional pending items in
this bid group, we recommend you create a new bid group and move your current
Ready Bid Group snipes into it as soon as possible. This applies only to the
bid group this error occurred in: all other bid groups you may have are
unaffected.
|
| Blocked by seller |
Your snipe could not be placed because the seller blocks specific groups of buyers.
For example, if a seller doesn't ship to your country, he can block all bidders from
that country.
|
| Ebay Requires Verification |
Your snipe could not be placed because eBay Requires further Verification for your
account. Often times this is in the form of providing some type of valid Credit
Card to associate with your account.
|
| Ebay Server Error |
Your snipe could not be placed because eBay did not respond to our request. This was probably due to an error with one of their servers. See the description of 'Unknown Status' for more information about eBay server errors.
|
| Ebay Not Responding |
Your snipe could not be placed because eBay did not respond to our request. This was probably due to an error with one of their servers, or network congestion that caused the request to timeout. See the description of 'Unknown Status' for more information about eBay server errors.
|
| Ebay Buying Limit Reached |
Ebay imposes a limit on the amount of items that can be bought or sold at one time by unverified users. We could not place your snipe because you have exceeded this limit. Please verify your account with eBay to increase this limit, or wait until some of the items you are currently bidding on have ended, before placing another snipe.
|
| Not Preapproved |
We could not place your bid because the seller required all bidders to be pre-approved to participate in this listing. The next time you choose to snipe a listing with a pre-approval requirement, you must contact the seller directly and ask to be added to the pre-approved list before the snipe is placed.
|
| Invalid eBay Email |
Your snipe could not be placed because your eBay email address is invalid and action must be taken before proceeding. Please either update or confirm your eBay email address before placing another snipe.
|
| Ebay Password Too Weak |
Due to updated eBay security standards your password has been determined to be too weak. Your password is triggering an extra security request, which cannot be bypassed by our system. To fix this problem please go to eBay and change your password to one deemed stronger by eBay. After making this change you will need to update your password information here.
|
////
| Security Key Blocked |
We were unable to place your snipe because the PayPal Security Key you are using with your account is incompatible with sniping technology. The security key is designed to require a person to enter the number generated by the key which prevents any type of automation of the process. You will be unable to use a sniper service while you are using the PayPal Security Key.

|
| Unknown Status |
Your snipe could be not be placed because of an eBay server error. In the event of this, Auction Sniper continues to bid for you up to 15 times. These type of errors are not common, nor are they limited to Auction Sniper. Although this is ultimately the responsibility of eBay, we do all that we can to prevent this from happening.

| High Bidder |
