[Bodo]

Did esniper work before with these host settings?

I don't know how exactly the login procedure works. IIRC ebay uses cookies which was one of the reasons to switch from hand-crafted HTML processing to using libcurl.
I don't know if loginHost="signin.ebay.com" will work in combination with [pre]bidHost="offer.ebay.co.uk".

Please try if the problem can be reproduced without specifying any hosts.

I whittled it down to the .esniper file, changing all the entries to .com until it worked.

seconds = 5

historyHost = offer.ebay.com

prebidHost = offer.ebay.com

bidHost = offer.ebay.com

loginHost = signin.ebay.com

myeBayHost = my.ebay.co.uk
