hi, i like to test (help testing) and have stuff to offer for auction
but please also fix reported problems

account zqsd00 - you sent mail that account is active, but i can not bid

this also the acount i would like to use for testing your site
(offering coins, banknotes)

could you also improve the help section?

thanks

Before the beta goes live and after everything is completed I will have a help section with screenshots up.  Please contact me via e-mail or PM so I can work on getting your account working. Are you receiving any errors?

[kseistrup]

The site should provide SSL login, please!

I bid BTC 1.00 on an item that already had a bid of BTC 0.99.  Now I'm listed as the highest bidder, but the bid is still BTC 0.99?

I agree, the frog looks better with a smile.

i stumbled upon this by chance and it's a pretty good site...
i was testing the dev site and all seems to work, except for this:
http://dev.biddingpond.com/item.php?id=1&history=view#history
the max seems to be that huge number, but i entered as many 9 as could fit into the bid form space. what i see is not a huge pile of 9s though...
are you limiting the number not to run into overflow? maybe add a note with the max number allowed...

anyway, i'm need2revolt on both sites and i'm selling myself in the dev site... if you anyone wants to buy...

The page styles are a bit broken for me, chrome on osx. Specifically the user_menu is all over the place!

[TTBit]

I've sold on biddingpond in the past. My suggestion is to have a payment address field when setting up the auction. Using the block explorer, it would be a way to verify payment as sent. Also a way to verify that fees should be charged for listing the auction.

[nelisky]

On action 8 I bought 10 items @ 2 btc, and bidder1 bought 5 @ 6. When I go to pay now, I get an outstanding value of 6 btc, which is obviously wrong.

[semyazza]

Thanks for the reports everyone. Working on getting them touched up.

Added Two new features:

Added unique QR code to each auction page.

In the last minute of auction every bid extends timer by 30 seconds
    - Replaces Captcha on Bid Screen
    - Used to diminish effect of 'sniping' programs

@chmod755 : What input field allows iframe insertion?

@PTMHD: Yes, this will be credited to the production site when the Beta goes live.

@kseistrup: Investigating SSL connections (98% likely, Might even make it a default "option"), Also not a bug the first bid will equal the starting bid price.

@Need2Revolt: I will add Message about Auction Limit. My assumption is that no one will bid for an item over 21,000,000 BTC as that is current hard coded generation limit.

@Nelisky: please try again as I was making some site modifications today. I am also investigating the bidding issue.

@TTBIT: Currently setting up a bitcoin forwarding option.
    -Seller will supply an address they wish to receive coins
    - Buyer will send coins to an address generated by site and will forward coins to seller
    - If no forwarding address is supplied payments are held in an on site wallet.

@chmod755 : What input field allows iframe insertion?

The article description even allows <script>:
http://dev.biddingpond.com/item.php?id=11

I just tried to leave feedback, but it says:

You may not leave feedback about this user!
This auction is not closed!

The auction is closed:
http://dev.biddingpond.com/item.php?id=8

Edit: Oh, sorry. I gave my feedback to the user testing, but the menu still tells me: "1 users are awaiting feedback from you" (is it a bug in dutch auctions?)

Thanks,
Working on it.

What about spam protection on some fields?

I can send single character messages to the message board:
http://dev.biddingpond.com/msgboard.php?board_id=1

I don't know if it's a bug or a feature

Undecided about a "length" feature. I might add a timer so you can't repost for a specified time after. Also, I believe I patched the XSS (<iframe>,<script> etc.) problem. Care to give it another try?

[abstraction]

If possible, I would like to see a part of the site dedicated to local areas, such that I can click on the area where I live and bid on local items. Like the way craigslist works.

This would be very nice for vehicles and other large items.
