I changed the script to allow bids with maximum bid of zero. As for slowness, this is normal, and you guessed well - each item details have to be fetched from ebay and parsed.

I forget, comments might also be a field an user want to be complete in their import/export.

We cannot upload an auction with the price at 0 in the CSV it seems, but we can through the web interface. Further, I would consider to support blank for price and group in CSV (blank price = 0; blank group = 0).

Also, I am sure some user would like to be able to import/export all value per entry, this would include the Offset and Mirror field. I don't care that much about it personally for now, but I think it will be more right and will support all editable data. Maybe just make these two column optional and use default if not there or blank (so it is also backward compatible).

Also, after upload, we are stuck on the page, would be nice to have a link to continue somewhere (either go back to settings or go to account, etc.). It is nice to know also that it has processed all items (I have not yet tested with huge list).

P.S. Is it slow because you contact eBay for all auctions? I see even with a bad auction number it still got added... so maybe an idea would be to create the entry really fast in your database, and let your system later or at the end retrieve eBay's attribute. I see a lot of use for that feature for me as I am currently a Jbidwatcher user that want redundancy, I usually have hundred of active auctions that I monitor/bid on, so if it can be faster, I think it will be nice.

Thanks
