Manual Win	This indicates a winning bid, but the bid was placed on eBay directly for an amount larger than the bid from your Snipe.

Bid Too Low	Your snipe could not be placed because your maximum bid was below the current minimum bid.

Reserve Not Met	Your snipe was successfully placed and you are currently the high bidder, but the reserve price has not been met.
Not in Time	The auction ended before eBay received our bid attempt. This may have happened because of a spike in Internet traffic that delayed the delivery of the bid to eBay or eBay server maintenance that delayed the processing of the bid.
Ended Early	The item seller ended this auction early. This could be because there was an error in the auction, or the seller simply wanted to end the auction and sell to the current highest bidder. There is nothing we can do in this situation.
Invalid eBay Link	Your Auction Sniper link to your eBay account is invalid or expired. Please update your eBay account link here.
Deleted	Your snipe has been archived. Archived snipes are only visible under the "Archived" tab of your "My Snipes" page.
Large Bid Restricted	Your snipe could not be place because your eBay account has not been verified for large bids. Read about eBay's large bid rules here.
Bid Group not placed	A bid on this item was not placed because there are items in your bid group that have not yet been resolved. To keep from winning more items than you have specified in your bidgroup, we will not place a new bid if we haven't resolved the won/lost status of a previous bid. If you have additional pending items in this bid group, we recommend you create a new bid group and move your current Ready Bid Group snipes into it as soon as possible. This applies only to the bid group this error occurred in: all other bid groups you may have are unaffected.
Blocked by seller	Your snipe could not be placed because the seller blocks specific groups of buyers. For example, if a seller doesn't ship to your country, he can block all bidders from that country.
Blocked by eBay	Your bid was blocked by eBay with the reason "eBay Trust & Safety error". We don't know what causes eBay to block bids this way, except we do know it is not caused by using Auction Sniper. Sometimes this can occur with newer eBay accounts that don't have an established record with eBay, however these kinds of blocked bids can occur with any account. Check that your eBay account is in good standing with no unpaid items in your cart.
Ebay Requires Verification	Your snipe could not be placed because eBay requires further verification for your account. Often times this is in the form of providing a valid Credit Card to associate with your account.
Ebay Server Error	Your snipe could not be placed because eBay did not respond to our request. This was probably due to an error with one of their servers. See the description of 'Unknown Status' for more information about eBay server errors.
Ebay Not Responding	Your snipe could not be placed because eBay did not respond to our request. This was probably due to an error with one of their servers, or network congestion that caused the request to timeout. See the description of 'Unknown Status' for more information about Ebay server errors.
Ebay Buying Limit Reached	Ebay imposes a limit on the amount of items that can be bought or sold at one time by unverified users. We could not place your snipe because you have exceeded this limit. Please verify your account with eBay to increase this limit, or wait until some of the items you are currently bidding on have ended, before placing another snipe.
Not Preapproved	We could not place your bid because the seller required all bidders to be pre-approved to participate in this listing. The next time you choose to snipe a listing with a pre-approval requirement, you must contact the seller directly and ask to be added to the pre-approved list before the snipe is placed
Invalid Ebay Email	Your snipe could not be placed because your eBay email address is invalid and action must be taken before proceeding. Please either update or confirm your eBay email address before placing another snipe.
Security Key Blocked	We were unable to place your snipe because the PayPal Security Key you are using with your account is incompatible with sniping technology. The security key is designed to require a person to enter the number generated by the key which prevents any type of automation of the process. You will be unable to use a sniper service while you are using the PayPal Security Key.
Seller Purchase Limit Reached	Your snipe could not be place because the limit of items you can purchase from a seller over a certain period has been reached.
Seller has blocked bidders from your location	Your snipe could not be placed because the seller has blocked bidding on this item from your location.
Banned By Seller	Your snipe could not be placed because the seller of the item has decided that you are not permitted to bid on their listings. You may contact the seller via the "Ask Seller Questions" feature within your eBay account if you want additional details as to why they have banned you from bidding on their listings.
Ebay Requires Account Verification	We were unable to place your snipe; eBay required additional account verification.

Unknown Status	Your snipe could be not be placed because of an eBay server error. In the event of this, Auction Sniper continues to bid for you up to 15 times. These type of errors are not common, nor are they limited to Auction Sniper. Although this is ultimately the responsibility of eBay, we do all that we can to prevent this from happening.

High Bidder	Your snipe could not be placed because you were currently the high bidder.
