Title: Oddest thing...bid price increased by $100!!
Post by natebetween on 05/28/07 at 09:47:46

Okay, so I was toying around with a live auction I was running and submitted my bid until I was the highest bidder (probably around $10). I decided to increase my bid to $13. I did this, received a confirmation that my bid had indeed been increased to $13, but when I went back to the item, it said that I could not bid less than $110.00!! I checked to .dat file and the area where it tells you what increments to go up by had changed from 1.00 to 100.00. Luckily I had just backed up all of the .dat's. I reloaded the backup and all was fine. But when I tried to increase my bid on ANOTHER item....the SAME THING happened.

Any ideas? I'm stumped. :o

I tested it (again) but I can't reproduce the described behavior.
Please check the settings you did (eConfig161.pl).

Code:

#-#############################################
# Config-Section-03
# The Config-Variables of: form_date
#-#############################################
$config{'continent'} = 0; # 0 = USA 1 = Others
$config{'time_delay'} = 0; # time delay (Server/Client)

#-#############################################
# Config-Section-04
# The Config-Variables of: form_currency
#-#############################################
$config{'currency'} = 0; # 0 = USA 1 = Others
$config{'cur_symbol'} = '$'; # Your Currency-Symbol
$config{'allow_cent'} = 1; # 0 = No | 1 = Yes

Maybe that's it?!?! I'll find out. Here's what I had. If I remember correctly I changed the time delay because there was a 3 hour delay. it was on east coast time and I'm on the west coast.

Could that make the phenomena that I'm talking about?

Thank you so much!!! :)

Sorry, but that can't be the reason.
Please double ckeck your installation and settings.

Natebetween,

How about a URL for some of us to try and verify the error.
That might be helpful.

That's the problem mars ...
most of them ask a question, but they never come back in order to reply to the answer(s) they got.
I'm tired of this behavior.
