importing many items from a single seller

hello · Guest

hi mario, i think it would be nice if users could import many items from the same seller at once, and create snipes for several items at once. for example, if a seller has 100 acutions for the same identical item, and i want to bid on all of them, instead of me creating 100 snipes for the same amount, i would prefer to just import all 100 items and just enter $30 once and all 100 snipes would be created. thanks

What is your idea on how the list of these auctions would be provided? Like a csv file maybe?

maybe on the bidding page there would be a text field where you can enter a seller's ID and next to it another text field where you enter your maximum bid and next to these 2 text fields a button that says "Snipe on all items from this seller". and then i press that button and gixen bids on all 100 items for $30. Then instead of having to create 100 snipes and entering $30 100 times, the I would do it just once. would save a lot of time. Let me know if you dont know what i mean and i will clarify.

I think it's a very rare situation you would want to bid on every item from a single seller, and that this list is large enough it's annoying to enter them item by item...

LOL - I am thinking that the best solution would be to use "Ask A Seller A Question"... and ask them to set you up a Buy It Now for (say) 100 items.

This is much better for the seller - they save heaps in listing fees (1 listing rather than (say) 100... so they could pass on the cost savings.
