eBid v3 Snag List

"My defaults" are not working

Can you be a little more specific. The process seems to be working ok.

Thanks

When I do an "on first bid" listing it lists as a regular one day listing. I have to do the listing and then edit it to get the on first bid to work.

Checking into this.

not sure if this has been meantioned about the stores:

When setting the cat up in myebid to the way you want them to be; this is not reflected in the actual way in the store??

slight bug

Can you be a little more specific. Do you mean the actual ordering of the categories on screen or thatyour categories arent showing up.

reposting this snag as Gazzas earlier response didnt address this point

There is no option to 'mark as unpaid'. This option is needed because payments can fall through- for example:
1. Unverified buyer attempting to use pppay - then gives up (this has happened to me regularly)
2. Cheque sent- which later bounces

The order that i arrange the cats in myebid store config; isnt shown up in the actual live store - its like taht any new or editeed cats are sent to the bottom of the order i the live store; but are actual order that you have set them to be in store config is ignored.

Accruing buddy points.
Snag Buddy points are not being shown issued for all qualifying transactions.
There is no lower qualifying limit shown, so based on your current instruction all auctions would qualify for a % of buddy points- even auctions which sell for 10p. The buddy points statements need to be adjusted to show more decimal points so we can check we are being allocated points correctly.

Can I propose if you dont want to issue buddy points for the lowest price auctions, you state a qualifying level clearly on the buddy points page. Also how is P & P accounted for when allocating buddy points. Is it disregarded?

The % of buddy points issued is confusing- Do we really need to spend £100 to gain a point????

Gazza,

I have set defaults for -- Domestic Postage Cost, International Postage Cost, Payment Methods Accepted, Available To, Start My Auction Clock Countdown, Days Until Close and Bid Increment.

When I do a listing none of the defaults I have set up are showing on the listing page.

EOA notice
Invoice from Seller
these are the same email sent from eBid

No they're not

eBid emails the buyer of each item won, but does not combine and discount items into a single invoice / P&P amount (like on eBay) - on eBid, sellers have to do that outside of eBid (e.g. in MS Outlook or QuickBooks or similar) and then email the correct item list and total to the buyer.

We have been asking for a long time for a seller managed in-eBid invoicing tool that combines items and postage and discounts postage where appropriate (or at least allows the seller to edit it), as well as allows the buyer to trigger the combining and seller pre-set discounts, if the seller is too slow for the buyer's liking. Again, all of this is available on eBay to all levels of seller, with or without a shop.

It is desperately needed here as well.

My Defaults requires an image to be added for Gallery to become available.

Dangerous

A seller could post the auction using the image attached to the template after forgetting to correct it, simply because a part URL can be seen in the image URL field

2. Cheque sent- which later bounces

I've banged on about this for 15 months since ppPay penny checks were introduced - obviously ppPay (a.k.a. G&M) are making too much interest on the "pending" account balance for uncleared accounts.

Linked to this is the need for sellers to be able to reject unverified payers within ppPay ..... but that's a battle for another day.
