    Great plugin, I may be buying it soon! I’ve just begun playing around with it and noticed a couple of things. One is that I can outbid myself. if the email address is identical, this shouldn’t be allowed/possible. Is this demo the most up-to-date version? I’ll have to install and check it out on my site. More trivial, but still rather annoying is, at least on my browser, the focus shifts to the reply box (and vice versa) whenever you use the tab button to go to the next field. Both of these issues need a fix I think before I’d commit to buying it. I’ll have more of a play around and see if I can find any more issues.

  2. Ghio says:

    Hi Im highly interested in your plug in. What i miss is the posibility to let the visitors (registered users) to place an auction. Let me know if this posibility is available.

  3. Allan says:

    Regards

    I saw the WordPress extend free version of this and I installed it to try it out before buying. Does this mean that the free version won’t allow for the exact bid amount to be shown… when I test out the bid and put let’s say $700.00 but the bid before that was $400.00 the system enters it as $455 instead of $700.00 What is this? a glitch or a result of not having a PRO version?

    • Hyder says:

      The free version uses the proxy bidding engine and it will bid on behalf of the bidder up to their maximum bid amount they set at the time of placing the bid.

      It’s not a glitch.

      • Ruben says:

        I do not want to use the proxy bidding, I want it to look real bid gambler’s, which is what I have to do?. I use the free version. What do I do I modify a line of PHP pages? or just using the paid version is where I can change this.
        I appreciate your prompt response.
        Thanks

    Will there be any updates on the plugin to allow registered users to post a auction?

  6. Ger says:

    The same question as Premiere “Will there be any updates on the plugin to allow registered users to post a auction?” Please send us an answer. I buy your plugin on that moment, even when the price is higher for that extra feature.

    • Hyder says:

      We’ve developed it halfway, but it will be another month or so before that feature becomes available.

      • nick N says:

        hello hyder, hi if users can post an auction, would it need to be approved by admin? and then would it allow Admin to make a commission?

        presumably, bidders may want to have more info on a product before buying, allowing buyer and seller to message each other before contact details are released. “Try before you buy” may mean visiting the seller, eg for a house or car! which I guess means contacts must be released

        Contacts could be released, when the buyer chooses to buy or visit, and the commission taken from seller’s proceeds or contacts paid for. This could apply to digital as well as physical products I suppose..?

  7. Michelle says:

    I bought the pro version and I am pleased with the plugin. One question I have is – can the non-winning bidder emails of an auction be exported for the purpose of wanting to say to them “thanks for bidding”. So for instance, if an auction had 30 bidders and 1 wins, is there an easy way to take the 29 bidders that lost and extract their emails for just that auction? I see how I can go into the auction and view all bidders and their bids but it may mean I would have to cut and paste that list to a csv file.Thanks in advance.
