Hello Richard,
Thank you for your question about your bid. We investigated what we encountered when we placed your snipe. More than one snipe was placed from different systems and each gave the same result.
Please go to My eBay and perform the phone verification step. eBay is increasing security steps for third-party offers, and that includes sniping unfortunately. This isn't programmed into our software yet, which is why it didn't catch the error as usual.
I hope this has been resolved to your satisfaction. If you have additional questions, please be sure to respond and we can take the next step.
