(Yes since I wrote about Gazza working on Boxing day, not much has happened, (he must have taken a good break) so it should be big!)

Many of us won't sleep now till the end of March!)

Integrate Moneybookers ?

[Brunwulf]

Could we see a basic eBid API ?

[FBNeNotes]

Could we see....
1- A Bid Column when scrolling along the eBid road

2- Views only see-able by the seller of the item, not by lookers.

Those two are my main wants.

[Juliebabe25]

I agree with all of those

I thought Bykimbo was going to do a Gazza wishlist poll !

Tidy up registration

Un-integrate PPpay

Make sure people get their T shorts automatically

Get rid of many non-used or half empty categories

Make sure the upgrade to Seller + procedure is clear and works correctly

Start a page where the number of sales and dollar value are shown along with the number of Seller+ members are shown.

Make sellers sign in every two weeks

But I think the API is they key to bring in many big sellers.

Un-integrate PPpal

......... you meant ProPay ? or whatever its named.

[Naturelady]

I am sure I will be thought of as a dummy for asking, but I don't know what an API is?

[HerMajesty]

Associated Press International........well, it used to be....what it is on eBid I don't know....glad you asked.

[Juliebabe25]

I meant PPpay (I have fixed it)

API stands for Application Programming Interface.

What it means is that it allows other programs to interact with your program.

As far as auction sites go I don't know much abut it except to say that it allows other companies to write software to interface with say ebay.
This is what many of the large sellers use to manage their listings.

I have often read that many large sellers will not consider an auction site unless it has an API.
