The Trigger Option Fri Oct 16, 2009 11:38 PM Quote

Hey,

So, there are two problems I have on ebay sometimes, that I think myibay could potentially fix.

One is when two of the same item are on, and they end close together. I'd like there to be a trigger so that if myibay sees that I lost the first auction, it would then go ahead and bid on the second.

The second is when I see an item I like. Sometimes, I want to buy other items from the seller, but only if I win the item had been looking for in the first place. I call this the flagship item, and if I don't win it, that's it, I don't want anything else. With a similar trigger, or action, or script or what ever, could myibay potentially link certain other items to the "flagship" item, and only bid on those other items depending on weather or not I won the flagship item?

The first feature is already implemented and called "Groups".
You can find more information here:

What is Group feature:

How to use Groups:
http://www.myibay.com/login/faq/2/#q11

Limitations to Groups:

The second feature you mentioned is not really requested by users that much. I have one more request besides yours.
Additionally, there are few things which will make this feature do not work as you expected. Sniping does not guarantee the winning so the seconds item(s) you snipe may not ended up with you as a winner. This way you will end up with the "flagship" item only, but without other items.

However, I keep this feature is in ToDo list and if I get more requests, then it will be implemented. But I afraid that many will complain who won't understand how it works.

Nice. Aren't these kind of the same feature in reverse, though? How does myibay know when I've won in groups?

Yes. The second feature is a reversed version of the first one.
The first one is actually used and was requested by many users in the past.

It checks the winner when bidding is done and auction is finished.
