Bid Time Remaining

147815 4 0

Hi -
I've been trying out BidSlammer. It worked fine for 6 auctions, bringing me in as the highest bidder. However, I have now lost 4 auctions (yet won 2 in between) because BidSlammer never placed my bid, even though it would have been higher than the "Sold For" after an auction ended. I've noticed that the "time remaining" is highly inconsistent, even after constant refreshing. Fort example, with all 4 of the bids that never got placed before auctions ended, I noticed that the time remaining was way out of whack with eBay's "time remaining". What is causing these inconsistencies that cause me not to get my bid in automatically? As an example, I would have a maximum bid for $100. The item would actually sell for $45 and my bid never even appeared. I'm extremely frustrated that I can't rely consistently on BidSlammer to accurately "time" and "place" my bids.

Hello Scott,
Thank you for your question about your bids appearing. We placed the bids. Please be reminded that your bid will not show up in the bidding history unless it is higher than the bid at the time. In the cases you cited, the bid was far less than the price at the time.
You can ignore the countdown timers in your browser. Those are just for show, and they use your browser clock, which gets way off if you leave the page open. We're probably going to take that feature out.
Thank you for your feedback. We rely heavily on it to give you the best experience possible.

Hi -
Here is one that closed (and is now relisted) because it received no bids the first time. Through BidSlammer, I had a maximum bid of (I think $60) yet the bid never activated therefore the auction ended with no bids. That's an auction I should have won had the bid gone through. I could probably go back and fine the others as well. Hmmm...

It's working ok. The issue appears to be that you're using Bid Groups as folders. By definition, once you win an item in a group, we shut off the other bids and do not bid on them.
Here is more info: https://bidslammer.com/help/bid_groups
We will probably add support for folders at a later date.
