I apologise, it seems I was wrong about the cause of this problem, it had nothing to do with the currency (it did once before, so that is why I guessed that). Unfortunately I confused the issue with that guess. <br /> <br />Just to be even more clear, Gixen does not use the currency to determine which site to send the bid, Gixen only switches sites from the target that you set in your Gixen settings when visibility on your target site is the problem. <br /> <br />Now Mario has changed the code for the CSV import function so that it does the same as the web interface (automatically looking on another site when it can not find it on the main target site) this problem should not happen again. <br /> <br />I still cannot add item 270704385780, using the web interface, with my target set to the UK and "autotarget" set to 'Yes', even though I can see the item from the UK site, so there is still a combination of settings that does not allow everything.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>mario</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Sun Feb 13, 2011 5:58 am<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">The parsing logic does not depend, or at least should not depend on the currency. Any target (ebay.com, ebay.de, ebay.co.uk) should parse properly all the currencies. However, since there is too many combinations, for only ebay.com target Gixen parses just about everything correctly. The only exception is auctions visible on ebay.de only. Hence the "autotarget" setting - if something is not visible on ebay.com, Gixen will automatically try to see it on ebay.de, and vice versa. <br /> <br />I hope I explained it, and not made it even more confusing? <br /> <br />There was a fix in the code, it's not just settings, this is why I asked you to try again with the original settings.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row1"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>jas4aman</b></span></td> <td class="row1" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Sat Feb 12, 2011 10:01 pm<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">Mark, does the parsing logic depend on the currency of listing to determine which ebay site to send the snipe/bid to? I have seen many cases, where sellers cross-list in different currencies. 370481338482 is another example where a German seller has listed in GBP. 270704385780 was listed in canadian dollars as "C $5,50". <br /> <br />Mario, If I find some nice item listed on any ebay site and the shipping cost is reasonable, I just go for it. <br /> <br />And all these items that I try to add using "import CSV" feature, can all be seen with "hxxp://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=<item num>" correctly. If an item is not available for sale in Germany, it won't get displayed with this address and would ask for re-direction to the correct ebay site. <br /> <br />And my "Change ebay target site automatically if needed" was set to Yes all the time. <br /> <br />Yes, but setting the target server back to US, allowed me to add 370481338482 and 270704385780. <br /> <br />I hope I won't see this problem again.
