Hello.

I'm using myibay as a firefox (v3.0.19) addon. I use myibay all the time when bidding on ebay but I just noticed that the group function in myibay doesn't seem to be working.

My understanding when grouping multiple ebay items in one group, is that myibay would bid on the ebay items in the group in order until one of the item wins, then the the rest of the items left still in the group gets deactivated.

Well, today I setup three bluetooth headset ebay auction in my group 1. When I get back home from work and check my email, I notice I've won all three!!! WTF!!! (sorry, please forgive my bad french) I grouped the three auction so I should have won just the one then the remainder should have auto deactivated. But it didn't.

I don't think I did anything wrong grouping the three auction items. Anyone have any idea what could cause the grouping function to not work? so that I don't end comming home from work one day and find I won 20 auction for the same thing.


thanks
angelo

I think I figured out what I did wrong.

In my group-ing settings page, I had the 'to win items' field left to the default 'all'. I changed the 'all' to '1'. I think this probably fixed my grouping problem.

Can someone please confirm? and BTW, I thought the default for the grouping was one? (sorry my bad french)


he-hee

Yes, this is it. You have to set a limit of how many items you want to win (1, 2, 3, more, all, etc).
You can also put a default value for all your Groups you create in the future in the Profile - Default "To Win".

The default is "all" for old accounts (created more than about 3 years ago), and "1" for new accounts.
It was switched to "1" once users started to use Groups more actively and many requested to have it "1" instead of "all".

Thanks a lot for the follow up.

thank you
