eBay scores passwords. If you are bidding from your computer, they are more lenient.
If you are bidding through an outside computer, like one of ours, it can result in a random security step or “Captcha†box on login through which snipes cannot penetrate. The reason I know is because we capture the result pages after each bid.
Also if you haven't changed your eBay password in a long while, that can cause it also.
