CorneliusH Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 Anthony For everyone who wants the auction pages to show more than 20 auctions/sales/mappings per page, you can change that in the Configuration/Maximum Values/Search Results configuration option. I use 100 as the amount and that works well for me. Great! - would you please consider (In ver. 1.3) to make it able to sort the columns in auctions/sales - especially the User ID/E-mail column in order to make it easier for the administrator to manually check out paid items. There's a problem when I'm using the "buy it now" feature on eBay. If an item is sold before the auction is downloaded by EASM will the auction and the sale never be downloaded in EASM. I get this message in Adm/Tools/who's online/ Fatal error: The script tried to execute a method or access a property of an incomplete object. Please ensure that the class definition supercart of the object you are trying to operate on was loaded _before_ the session was started in /hotel/cornelius-hansen/cornelius-hansen.com/catalog/admin/whos_online.php on line 162 I can se who's online but I can't see the content of their carts.

Guest Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 CorneliusH: All of my auctions are Buy It Now auctions. The EASM is not immediatly updated, it takes about an hour to update. If they try to checkout before it's updated they get a message that it takes up to 2 hours for the system to update. EASM will download the auctions throughout the day, and the timestamp on them is the actual time the person completed the transaction. Makes it nice when sending reminder/warning emails, and doing NPB alerts. In response to previous comments regarding emails and hard copy etc. First of all, email is not a guaranteed thing. Your server may have a hiccup, their server might have a hiccup, their ISP may have a spam filter that blocks your emails, etc. Unless you send receive receipt and read receipt on every message you'll never know what's being seen. Then you have people who don't send the receipts. Then those receipts would come to your email box and you'd have to sort them. There is no ONE way to track the emails, and there is no guaranteed way to do it. With that said, my suggestion is a type of customer history. To go along with the work flow, a report with each customer, and something that would look like this when completed: Sean Hull | Invoice Sent 02/01/2004 12:06 EST | Reminder Sent 02/05/2004 13:18 EST | Warning Sent 02/09/2004 01:16 EST | NPB Filed 02/11/2004 21:32 EST | FVF Completed 02/21/2004 16:04 EST | Negative Feedback Left 02/21/2004 16:05 EST Bryan Bailey | Invoice Sent 01/31/2004 05:22 EST | Reminder Sent 02/02/2004 18:08 EST | Checked Out (Order # 2156) 02/03/2004 19:39 EST | Paid 02/03/2004 19:45 EST | Shipped 02/05/2004 16:48 EST If someone says they were never notified, just copy and paste their info in and say, "We sent you several emails on the following dates." The report would have to be searchable by customer and email address atleast, maybe order # as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorneliusH Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 Hello Worldwidedvds If they try to checkout before it's updated they get a message that it takes up to 2 hours for the system to update. EASM will download the auctions throughout the day, They have already paid via paypal - (If a costumer want to pay you $300 - why let him wait ?). They got an eBay notice with at possibility to pay within 60 seconds! - and I don't want to turn "I prefer paypal" off because you can search the "I prefer paypal" as a specific group in eBay - the problem with paypal is they has become an "industrial standard" since eBay bourght paypal...

♥auctionblox Posted February 1, 2004 Author Share Posted February 1, 2004 just wanted to make it a point that using [gift voucher and EAM] in junction he will run into problems. You will only run into problems when you auction off gift vouchers. It will work fine to use gift vouchers in conjuction with the EAM during checkout. Great! - would you please consider (In ver. 1.3) to make it able to sort the columns in auctions/sales - especially the User ID/E-mail column in order to make it easier for the administrator to manually check out paid items. I want to do that soon, but probably not for 1.3. However, I really don't think you should have to do admin checkouts. I'll think of something for paypal checkouts. There's a problem when I'm using the "buy it now" feature on eBay. If an item is sold before the auction is downloaded by EASM will the auction and the sale never be downloaded in EASM. I've had no problems with BIN. They should always download. Are you experiencing problems, or is this a question? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

♥auctionblox Posted February 1, 2004 Author Share Posted February 1, 2004 (edited) Regarding emails: 1. I'm working on email templates that can be sent easily to one or many customers at once (for auctions and normal osc). When an email is sent to many customers, it actually is sending a separate email to each user so that other users do not see other names in the To: list. 2. Each template will have the ability to BCC: another email address (e.g. yours) 3. Each email sent is saved in a sent items folder. 4. You can sort various ways to determine which emails have been sent to whom. 5. You can view the email sent and the timestamp just like a normal email program. 6. You can print the email for hard-copy purposes. Anybody see any holes in this approach? Edited February 1, 2004 by auctionblox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michimaus Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 Anthony, regarding mails: Good idea to have some kind of history for auctions anyway. There are some contribs about helpdesk & support system. Maybe integrating interfaces to these will safe some effort... With the sent "Email feature" you?re only one way. You splitt the conversation thread into two parts: OSC (outboud) & your favourite email proggie(inbound). As osc is already database driven, I would prefer this platform. So maybe in a first step you can integrate s.th. that makes it possible to add the missing information manually. Thers more actions than Email: Notes, phone calls, ...

Guest Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 Anybody see any holes in this approach? Oh, that's just asking for trouble.

CorneliusH Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 (edited) Anthony I've had no problems with BIN. They should always download. Are you experiencing problems, or is this a question? What does this mean? My BIN sale is not downloaded if the item is sold before this contrib download the (unsold) auction! Ebay no. #3701955946 is a test example I uploaded to ebay yesterday (24 hours ago) and bought after a few minutes. I haven't seen it being downloaded yet - I have experienced this problem several times before. Fatal error: The script tried to execute a method or access a property of an incomplete object. Please ensure that the class definition supercart of the object you are trying to operate on was loaded _before_ the session was started in /hotel/cornelius-hansen/cornelius-hansen.com/catalog/admin/whos_online.php on line 162 This must be a conflict between this contrib and another contrib or something else - The error message has despaired after I installed this contrib: automatic thumbnail creator 9.0 (What a magnificent contrib!). The difference seems to be that my catalog/includes/function/html_output.php was version 1.56 and the new coming with the thumb contrib was version 1.60. All changes I've made in for other contribs was moved to 1.60. I'm a little frustrated over the auctions this contrib never discover. This is the last - listed several days ago and sold yesterday - eBay 3270785832. Is it a general problem or should I look for something in my osc?

♥auctionblox Posted February 4, 2004 Author Share Posted February 4, 2004 and I am wondering about the shipping when I use the weight on ebay .. and it doesn't show up on the in my store.. is there something I can do about that??? It uses the fixed shipping cost at eBay, not the weight. If you want to use weight based shipping, then use the standard osc modules. If you don't have a product for each auction item, you can follow Cornelius' advice to create a default product. Specify the correct weight for your default product.

Guest Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 I have a slight problem. For some reason when a user attempts to use the auction checkout, they are being directed to checkout_shipping.php rather than auction_checkout_shipping.php. Is this correct? If so, the user can't get past the checkout_shipping.php page. What have I missed? Where do I make the change to force the auction_checkout_shipping.php? Thanks in advance for the help.
