My snipe bids are not being placed on eBay. This is happening over and over on several of my snipes lately. The Item number given is just one example. I have missed/lost many items I wanted and had snipes set high enough for the bid to at least be placed and likely been the high bidder. This has been going on for nearly a week for sure, maybe a little linger than that. Why?

Hello Chuck,
Thank you for your question about your bids. 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 error isn't programmed into our software yet, which is why it didn't catch it. There are over 50 situations we have to check for, but new ones popup regularly.
We're here for you if you have other questions. Please let us know if you need any other assistance.
