Description:



Hi,
My previous programmer was working on this project, but only completed some of
it. I need new programmer who knows how ebay.com works, so I don't have a
hard time explaining things. and recheck and fix what needs to be done. Below I
put "FIX?" on some items to indicate the last programmer finished the item and
seems to work fine, just need to quickly check.

1.Buy it now, should not be able to be lower than “Start price” or “Reserve
price”, also have a message in red font “Buy it Now cannot be lower than the
Start price or Reserve price” if lower than “Start price” or “Reserve price”.
Fixed?

2.When relisting a closed auction OR editing running auction, there are no
pictures of what was there before, just a url link. I would like the old picture
to be there and a way to chose to edit the picture by 2 choice: a)url link or b)
browsing and upload a picture. Additional uploads still has the fees, deletes
minuses the old charge in the fees, url redirects are free.

3.In the percentages currently if an item price closed between price a-b, A%
will be charged: if closed b-c, B% will be charged, etc.

I want it so if close in b-c, A% will be charged on the first amount a-b and
add B% to be charged for the next b-c. etc.

4.If I pay for gallery picture (currently set at FREE). In gallery, and front
home page features the uploaded picture items icons don't show, they just show a
camera icon.
Only works when looking through category sections. Need to fix so 1st picture
of item for sale is showing it's icon if they paid.

5.If pressing listings submit button more than once, it will relist the item
again and again. This should be correct to once. Fixed?

6.Question 1: if I move to a server host in the future will it be easy. What is
the process, I do not know too much.
Question 2: If I create a backup, can it be loaded to a new host with
everythingcomplete with no problems.

7.In the category, when mouse over sections category, put a color more visible
so users can see which words belong to each other. They seem jumbled together.
Or suggest a better way. Fixed?

8.a) Within each auction put us by the $, us$_ . __ for the start price and
current bid so people know it is in US dollars. Part done?

b)Also put a section in red font Approximately CDN$_ . __ with a Canadian –USA
currency converter. Only Partly done?

9. Need Advise in what can be done. When I delete a category or change a
category, users' current auctions are still running but cannot be found.

10. Advise first. Instead of choosing dutch auction or standard auction from
the list fixed, standard, dutch, classified. If dutch and standard are together
since they are the same form, I think. Just when you choose standard, and add
more then 1 quantity, it will give an error to choose a dutch option. It did not
really make sense they separate the 2 options and have a quantity field in the
standard auctions option that serves no purpose since standard auctions have
only 1 item.
See Post an item scetion first to know what I am saying.

11. In when logging in and in “My auctions” section:
a)Current Items - Manage your current items! Change to: Current Items For Sale-
Manage your current items for sale!

b)Closed Items - Manage your closed items!
Change to 2 sections:
Closed Sold Items - Manage your closed sold items!
Closed Unsold Items - Manage your closed unsold items!

c)If you can separate them in 2 category sections– Selling-Buying that would
avoid confusion to user.

12. In “My auctions“Current auctions in the headers
Item Description,PriceBids,Ends,Edit,End Early

Add a “Sell Similar Item” category between the categories "Edit" and "End
Early" where a seller can sell a similar item listed.

13.When listing or relisting add Canadian 13 provinces in Region list box
Canada-____, like in wemakematches.com. Then right side of box put "For USA or
Canada"

14.On the page http://www.ebosa.com/cgi-bin/auctions/fees.pl
Add to the list:
Buy It Now Free
Reserve Price Free
Private Auctions Free
Fixed?

15.Increase Item title in listing section from 42 to 60.
Fixed?

16.a)Please Advise and suggest: make it like ebay so there is a link on top for
sellers to be able to scroll and jump back and forth for the listing new item,
or editing a listing. Also have some sort of automatic update when movings
between sections.
b)For example when relisting able to scfroll back and change category,
currently can't change category.

17. Please suggest and advise and improve: When relisting currently only gives
a URL link section to put pictures. I want it so able to see to current
pictures, and able to delete or add a new picture.
By browse and add OR with URL.

I'm not too sure if you are familiar with ebay's section.
Could be see current picture and able to click on it to delete or add new pic.
(suggest and improve)

Please suggest and help in any other graphical and user friendly improvements,
like tab pages, pictures, etc.
Please take a look at the site www.ebosa.com . Have paypal or can transfer to
scriptlance account and Payment to made on proper completion of project. Also
make proper backups, and if possible show make a copy when finished before
uploading to site. Make it so no disruptions to current customers on site. Will
leave good feedback. Please include time frame you will complete project. Also
any examples.
Additional Info (Added 9/22/2004 at 16:04 EST)... Also need to validate
contact seller and make email address required. which should be simple enough.
