[quote="Cupid"]I've been expecting and waiting for this to be raised here.

I guess that so far this only applies to auctions on ebay.co.uk.. or have they rolled this out on any other sites yet ?

The bid you schedule here on Gixen is, as it has always been, the maximum that you are willing to pay.

So, yes that does include the fee that Ebay now take from you as a buyer.

What appears on the bids page is the amount of your bid, less that fee. This is exactly the same as when you place a bid manually.

Where I do see it causing issues for Gixen is when it calculates bid increments, because those are based on the auction price once buyer fees are taken off, not directly on the auction price that you pay. I think Mario might need to look into this aspect... but it could prove a difficult one, since the mechanism now depends on whether you are buying from a private seller or a registered business, so is not even consistent across all auctions on a particular Ebay site.

We may need to discuss this further here before we can reach a solution that fits all cases.[/quote]
