I just opened up ebay to place a snipe on an item and no matter what I bring up in ebay the snipe icon has vbanished. Help!

If you see a new eBay's layout, they are testing some new layouts currently. So we have to wait for them to finalize on that so Myibidder add-on can be updated.
You can always use http://www.myibidder.com/ to add and manage your snipes directly. Also, if you use Firefox, the "Snipe it" option is available from Tools menu in your Firefox or context menu.

Hi, the snipe option has gone completely also, apart from the Firefox tools option, which doesn't give a stutus report.
Steve.
Firefox 18.0.2
Kubuntu 12.10

You need to update to the latest version of Firefox add-on which is 1.3.5:
