Initial Bid

[E2S]

Just something I noticed.

Say I have an Ad and the starting bid price is $1.00 if someone bids a maximum of $10 you would assume the price would be $1.00 instead it bumps it up to $1.25.

Is there an easy way to fix this? I just don't want people to complain because they are bidding on a $1000 item and it gets bumped up really high.

You would need to modify the bid.php file as the bid increment is determined by the amount.

I guess you didn't understand what I was trying to say.

There should not be an increment on an intial bid. Meaning if I bid on an item that starts at $1 and I put in my max bid to $100. The current bid price should be $1 currently set it goes to $1.25. I found a way to fix it by doing these few changes to the bids.php file.

On line 46 change this

Content visible to verified customers only.

To this

Content visible to verified customers only.

Then around line 154 change this

Content visible to verified customers only.

To this

Content visible to verified customers only.

Hope this helps

I forgot to account for a Best offer situation so here is the fix

Change this

Content visible to verified customers only.

to this

Content visible to verified customers only.

this will allow for an increment if the ad is for a best offer. So if someone does a best offer ad and someone bids $100 it will go to a high bid of $.25

Hope I'm not stepping on toes changing the code it's just people will freak when there bid goes higher than it should so I have to fix it now before I release this on my site.

Thanks

Well this is not a bug. I understood what you meant. I said you could modify the way it is done in bids.php. The developer choose to code things the way he was.

Ok not a problem I know I have read a few posts about this and to me the fix makes the auction more like an ebay bid style auction.

Thanks
