My First Attempt Failed :-(

dougal95 · Guest

My very first try failed, but i'm not sure I understand why...?

I used the Desktop Manager with a mirror,

I entered the details and set my max bid to GBP 75.99

The winning bid (not mine) was for GBP 65

Didi I do something wrong perhaps, or does this happen, even with a mirror?

Thanks

dougal95,

What I can see in the database is that you specified a maximum bid of 0.00. If I am looking at the wrong item, please let me know.

Although I've tested a few times using 0.0, on my last usage I first set it to 80.99, then lowered it to 75.99.

I then clicked on 'refresh gixen status'.

Is that correct?

For this particular item (the only one not deleted in your list), the only entry I can see is 0.00, no previous or subsequent edits.

When you clicked on "Edit", after changing the price, did you click on "Update"?

Generally, there is no need to click on "Refresh status" unless some of the auction ended in the meantime, and you want to see the status it ended with.

Err....

I don't have an 'Update' button on the desktop manager.

There's ADD - EDIT - DELETE - REFRESH STATUS, but no UPDATE.

It's not on the main form - you should see it when you click on "Edit" - a new form should appear with price, etc on it, and "Update" button.

Oops!

Never mind - my fault.

Didn't understand I had to change things via the EDIT command.

Before, I simply changes the max bid in the field and then clicked on refresh.

My mistake

sorry to waste your time Mario
