1)Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou for introducing the Nonpaying Bidder feature - its going to make life a lot easier dealing with deadbeat bidders.
2) It is about time that we can define our own subgroups of items for the AuctionWatch ... it is probably simplest that the Folders in the Inventory become the Item Groups visible for our customers. Auctionworks has had a better store product directory for a long time - how about giving us dedicated AuctionWatchers the flexibility we need? Real soon please .. ?
3) Importing an auction listed in a different currency is listed in that currency in the Active Listings - but when it is sold and goes as an item into PostSale it becomes generic dollars (ie. $US by default) - for example, my item listed and sold at $66AUD becomes $66 in PostSale and if my customer paid via checkout and PayPal they would be paying $66US - makes it impossible to use the checkout page and the generated link to PayPal - no big matter because I can run these items manually, but I thought you'd like to know. I think the work to make this item do a currency conversion to $US would be fantastic but I also understand the immense background work in programming to make it happen smoothly - so perhaps as an interim measure make auctions imported in a non-$US currency a "watch only" item - or import it into the PostSale but with the WBN pointing to a subtype Checkout Page that collects buyer details only, stating the seller will get in contact with payment details and currency conversion, and not automatically generating online payement URLs.
