All new AUCTION Forum

[Superbunny]

My preference is to buy at the stated price and negotiate payment with the seller. I have been 'bitten' by Paypal and I have an issue with them that is current. I won't be buying or selling anything under the new e bay like system, sorry. I suppose the changes were necessary for the reasons Neil gave but I'm disappointed.

Thank you, I'm in complete support of your stand.

You can also pay with credit card using the PayPal thing and if the seller allows it in their ad you can also pay by EFT, Direct Deposit, Cheque, Postal Order, Cash and Wire Transfer for international. However the only payment method that has the ability to stop an auction is payment using PayPal or PayPal with a credit card. All other payments are off line from the forums and the seller must be contacted for details and asked to stop the sale whilst you pay which he/she may not do until payment is confirmed.

Hope this makes sense. PayPal is probably the safest way of paying on line today.

We are aware of this problem and working on it bit of luck it will be fixed by Saturday.

Thanks for clearing that up, Neil.
My preference will be to only look at items for a set price (no e baying) and look to see that the seller offers direct deposit or one of those other options other than PayPal.

Sellers please take note.

OK we finally have a fix for that problem with the search box now above the navigation bar.

If you can't see the Advanced Search link (should be below the search box) Try holding down shift and click on refresh. This should fix that as it's a cache problem that needs that hard refresh to respond.

We are working on putting some of the tabbed forums into a dropdown from the Forum tab which will also free up a bit more realestate across the top Navigation Bar.

It's not just you Ray, checked it out myself with both TT HD an TT Community, will report the prob to admin.

In the meantime it does work via Safari on my iPad.

Has there been any progress on solving the problem with access via tapatalk?

Working now on Tapatalk link is at the top of the TABBED FORUMS FOR TAPATALK - For mobile use only section.

May need to be loaded a couple of times or refreshed to get the new menu for that section out of cache.

Also works with the default mobile skin which should load automatically if you don't have Tapatalk or if you do a Google search for the forums without Tapatlak being used.

That is all good Neil can access the auctions now but still cannot open the individual auctions, still returning the above messages that I posted in the screenshots above

I too am finding the same - my error is "Oops ..... Network error. Refresh to retry"

Just as a side note (I haven't tried creating a dummy auction as there seems to be enough already) ..... is the auction period preset or can it be reduced?

Most of the ones I have seen have been set at 2 weeks and just by looking at the listings so far they quickly drop down the list out of mind (even some on the last page have 3 days still to go). Given the closing time extends when last minute bids are placed I just wonder if it would be better to set the auction period to a week to help maintain interest in the item and push the sales through a little quicker.

Other than that I think the auctions are a good idea

Good suggestion Sir Stinkalot..MM

This is one crazy mixed up auction site. The makita router had one bid at 4.19 another 4.30 and at 10.20 it was still saying no bids yet.

[MAPLEMAN]

Apparently a forumite tried to place a bid(s) on one of my items in the auction(timber) without success.Is there something wrong with my thread? It wont record any bids...could someone please help? MM
