How do I prove to ebay or the seller that I successfully sniped the item? My ebay account does not record that I secured the item with the highest bid.
How is the item paid for?
It is a shame that your site does not have a phone number.

Hello Benson,

We checked to see what we encountered when we placed your snipe. You did not win because eBay has a temporary block on your account. The software didn't recognize the error since it is a new one that we haven't seen in a while. If you can resolve this, you should be good to go with sniping.

Here is the error. Thank you for taking the time to write in. Please let us know if we can help further.
