Hello Dennis,
Thanks for your note. The bid was submitted, as evidenced by the log you included.
That error is a Trust and Safety issue. eBay doesn't expose any information that is personal or security related. They take privacy very seriously and limits access to certain types of data to protect its users' privacy. This includes details about non-payment strikes, for example, which are considered private and sensitive.
Our guess is that because you are trying to buy a gun, eBay (or the seller) requires some kind of verification.
In short, Our job is to place the snipe and we did this. but in this Trust/Safety situation, you must contact eBay for more information. This is the best answer we can provide.
