#28 Auth problems

[Mike S]

First, thanks for keeping esniper alive over the years!

I'm trying to use it for the first time in a while, and I'm having authentication issues.

From the debug output it appears that ebay is sending the login attempt to their captcha page.

I've tried both the current legacy and non-legacy branches.

I do not have 2FA configured on my eBay account.

Would 2FA help, with the hope that with 2FA, ebay wouldn't enforce a captcha? Does esniper know to prompt for a 2FA code if required?

Thanks!
Mike

First of all:
The only working version of esniper is the legacy branch.

The solution to your problem is very simple:
Use you prefered browser and logout from ebay.com (if you are logged in).
Then loggin again and answer the questions during the loggin process.
After that, you can start esniper again and everything works fine.

Thanks for the response, but I did that multiple times before posting

Currently I cannot reproduce your problem.

If get a "confirm your account" message, I use a browser to solve the "puzzle captcha" and start esniper again. Everything is fine then.

Important: You have to use www.ebay.com in your browser AND esniper ! Different URLs wont work !

Ok, thanks.

Does esniper work with ebay's 2fa? I've resisted setting it up (despite ebay's prompting at every login) thinking that it may break esniper.

[Michael S.]

If you had set up 2FA, it won't work, because you have to type in a token every time you log in.

You have to use an account without 2FA !!!

Got it:

    .
    .
    latency = 0, result = -1, error = 19
    buf = 0x3130c8, size = 11866, read = 0x3130c8
    time = 1597332661, offset = 0
    pagename = "Confirm your account", pageid = "(null)", srcid = "(null)"
    .
    .

The page looks like this:

Choose how you'd like to receive your confirmation code
We'll send a message to the option you select.

o By Phone (voice or text)
o By Email

Continue Cancel

Todo:
We have to implement pressing 'Cancel'.

Please try commit [a5d931].

Now the Page will be simple ignored.

But:
Currently eBay doesnt accept the legacy signin URL https://signin.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?co_partnerId=2&siteid=0&UsingSSL=1 and redirects all requests to https://signin.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?SignIn with the annoying JS stuff.
