Is there an auction sniper which will place bid on ebay UK

I have been using GIXEN for auction sniping for some years with no problems, but recently I have found 2 disadvantages to this, as ebay UK say that auctions I have won via this sniper have been placed on an ebay site outside of ebay.co.uk.
Firstly no Nectar points are awarded for auctions won through the sniper.
Secondly, when I recently tried to open a case regarding an item which had not arrived, I could not do this. The ebay message was to the effect that I should go away and deal with the problem on the site on which I placed the bid.
I tried Auction Stealer UK today, but have had the same result. No Nectar points have been awarded because the bid was not placed through ebay.co.uk.
Does anyone know of an auction sniper which will actually place the bid on ebay.co.uk, or of any way round the problem.

Linda

How very odd i get nectar points and have no problem opening cases and i use given, have done for years.
Have you tried altering the settings in gixen to set your country to the uk,though im not sure if the settings tab is available to non subscription users.0 -
I am a Gixen subscriber and have now been into settings and changed everything I could see to ebay.co.uk.
I've been using Gixen for so many years that it never occurred to me to look at the settings. I don't think these were available when I first started to use it.
Thank you very much for the suggestion. I have a snipe due tomorrow, so will keep my fingers crossed.0 -

I've been using it for years too. As far as I can recall, the option to use ebay.co.uk has always been there.
I get nectar points, by-the-way.0
