Yes, I see ...
sub proc_bid is missing a few lines of code :'(

- Search eAuction.pl for 'sub proc_bid'
- Search the sub for: else { # Bid > Proxy
- Replace the whole else block with the following Code:

                    else { # Bid > Proxy		
                       $form{'ENABLE_PROXY'} == 0
                           ?   ($agent_bid = $form{'BID'})
                           :   do {
                                   ($form{'BID'} >= $reserve and $reserve > $bid)
                                       ?   ($agent_bid = $reserve)
                                       :   do {
                                               ($form{'BID'} >= $proxy_bid + $inc)
                                                   ?   ($agent_bid = $proxy_bid + $inc)
                                                   :   ($agent_bid = $form{'BID'});
                                           };
                               };
                   
                       $agent_bid = parsebid($agent_bid);
                       
                       ($currentbid[2], $currentbid[3], $currentbid[4]) = ($agent_bid, $form{'BID'}, time);	    
                       $bid_record = join '[]', @currentbid;	    
                       write_bid_data(\$bid_record);
		    
                       disp_bid_confirmation($currentbid[0], $title, $currentbid[2], $currentbid[3]);
                       $outbid_flag = 1;
                   }

I was also having the bid agent problem and replaced the above code in my .pl file, however, now the bid agent isn't working at all - all the bids jump directly to the reserve amount. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Thanks. Will give that a try.

Edited to add:

I downloaded the latest version of 1.6.1 and loaded it and found the same result with a test bid. Bids jumped right to the reserve price. Also, the HTML tags in the item description did not function which was different.

Were there perhaps changes in the config file as well? My auction is ending tonight so I am not really wanting to do a lot of experimentation.
