At the moment I'm looking at AuctionWatch and have a question about it.
What I'd like to know is if AuctionWatch has the ability to auto-list an item if a certain condition is met.
Let me explain:
Say you have 3 items for sale with either a set inventory or an unlimited. For item 1, you want to keep 3 items listed at all times. If a customer buys one using the Buy-It-Now feature, AW would automatically post a new item (replacing the one that just sold). The same would hold true if the auction ran out it's course and ended whether it was sold or not.
Also, say item 2, you want to keep 1 item available for Buy-It-Now at all times. So, when a customer bids (or buys the item), AW would automatically post a new one.
Personally, I have had great luck in doing this manually. It's just getting to be more and more work to keep up with it. I'd love to see this automated (and I've looked at just about every auction manager out there).
Any reponses to this would be greatly appreciated,
Dennis

Hi malaki86,
I apologize for the delay in getting back to you. We had to check with our engineering team to see if the functionality built into Sales Manager Business Edition would manage to do what you need. Unfortunately, at this time there is no way to auto-relist based on specific triggers (SMBE will allow you to auto-list, however.) We are evaluating the possibility of building a tool that will relist or list based upon if/then triggers, but this is a large project and I do not have an ETA at this time.
Thanks for writing, and please let us know if you have any other questions.
