Hi everyone--
I have been reading our Message Boards and a number of you have requested that we let you know before we make changes to our site.
We have a very exciting change that will happen in the near future (I haven't been given a firm date.). This change will simplify the create auction process and make it easier and faster to create auctions using your Auction Manager control panel.
Please feel free to familiarize yourself with these changes by cutting and pasting the following URL into your browser:
http://www.auctionwatch.com/promo/acpv2/index.html
Take a look and let us know what you think.
Chris

This look nice there is a few things here
Many people who buy at auctions have already decided to hate the automatic End of auction
notice and check out features I have used this other place they hate it so much they go as far as to ignore the auto notices and not reply till you send EOA personally.
and there is one thing you could add that would more then likely be a big hit with many this would be an auto relist unsold Item feature that can be turned on and off by sight another words you could turn off the feature for ebay and leave it on for yahoo you could also have an amount of times to auto relist as ebay users wouldnt want Items unsold to endlessly relist.
Another feature I find that would be handy is instead of listing Picture from a to Z list them newest on top and oldest at the bottom this would speed listing up a lot when you get over 2 page of JPGs and gifs up it takes time to hunt down the picture you just down loaded to attach to your listing.

BTW Chris: you make a URL on AW by putting the URL command on either side; such as, [urlhttp://www.auctionwatch.com/promo/acpv2/index.html[ /url] without the extra space between the EndCommand LeftBracket [ and the ForwardSlash /.

Hope this helps ya, Chris!

Dman,
I'll second that motion about putting the newest pictures on top. Great idea! If they can do it with the counters, it should be easy to do it with the images.

What will happen to the auctions currently listed in my auction manager? Will I have to waste more of my precious time inputting the info of my repeat auctions into this new system?
The last time when there was a major upgrade all of my pics were lost.
I am tired of doing all the work then have to repeat it again! This is only a part-time biz for me. I have a "real job," a household to care for and a life.

Will there be a charge for the post auction management? I read somewhere earlier that there were fees in the works.
Also, on the photos to choose to put in the auction...are they listed in alphabetical order by file name? They still look pretty tiny...a nightmare when you have hundreds of photos.
It's good that it keeps improving though...keep it up!

PLEASE change the PSM -- offer an option of TAGGED emails for peeeples like me who avoid that "going to a web-site & giving personal info" type of PSM like the plague of locusts and horned toads it is! PLEASE?

dman3...no wonder you are "DMAN"...you hit the nail on the head! Pictures need to be listed as most recent first! And as someone who plays both sides of the fence, I abhor the EOA letters that make me go to yet another site to give them my mailing/payment info...I had one today and it bugged the heck out of me...(then again, i am kinda lazy). I think it also lacks the "personal" touch. I just know that I will never use that feature in any of my auctions. If it works for others...more power to ya!!
