High Pri Item - Auction Site - Beta
-
1. Also, I’d distinguish between the beta test data and the actual live site on the main auction page.
2. Do we eventually plan to do a single sign-on? I worry about a bunch of bogus account, however, I feel better about it being referenced against the forum username. If I see one from UKMark… and I know it’s really him, I know to run. ;)
3. We might consider a nominal posting fee of like 2 FTC. This would cut down on the possibility of spam.

Nah you will be OK, I ain’t shipping to the US anyway ;D
If I have as much success as my eBay persona I will be extremely happy :)[url=http://feedback.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=*narkymark*&ftab=FeedbackAsSeller]http://feedback.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=*narkymark*&ftab=FeedbackAsSeller[/url]

Update: Not a bug, just a ‘Dutch Auction’
Recommendation: Remove – Could be very confusing (UKMark and I agree)

[b]Update: Not a bug – Please remove this ‘dutch auction’ type… very confusing for the auction newbs[/b]

Wesphily bug confirmed. I saw him do it right in front of me, looking to see if I can replicate it every time.
[/quote]It’s not a bug ;)
It’s an auction, User A) has bid say 10,000,000 for an item with a start price of 1 it does not mean they pay 10,000,000 for it, if the bid increments are 25 then the current highest bid is now 26 (the maximum bid is still 10,000,000) now the next User B) comes along and places a bid of 1000 they beat the current highest bid of 26 but not the maximum bid of 10,000,000 - you will get the message that bid was not enough and the price will go up to 1025! Comprehend?

[/quote]If not a ‘bug’, it needs to be explained better (to the buyer). For 2 people to both see that as a possible bug independently means it’s not ‘mom-service’ friendly. ;)

Ahhh… I would have never picked up on that from the site feedback. Ok Ok… now I see where this went.

Maybe additional feedback from the system would clear that up quickly.

[/quote]I agree I remember when ebay introduced dutch auction years ago they were as confusing as anything, in fact I think they removed it eventually, I reckon we do that too :D

Unless something changes, we’re looking at:
Sunday -> Soft Launch
Monday -> Massive Push -
Dutch auctions have been removed from the system and Buy Now only auctions have been enabled. This allows people to sell multiple items at once.

I’m still working on the auction system but everything seems to be going well.

[/quote]Lol, I like your Logic :)

Leads,
Let’s bang on this site a little more today before the public beta tomorrow.
-
I have finished for the day. Please test this system further and report any bugs here. What I want people to find are the show stopping bugs if there are any.
In the morning I will wipe the site and prepare for our public beta. I will keep styling as there is more to be done but I consider the front page to be complete.
