Two possibilities for scheduled listings?

[bykimbo]

You can watch an item which is scheduled but not yet open, Kim. I don't think it helps much with the "I can't buy it now so I'll wander off site and buy it somewhere else" problem though.

Thanks. Yes, I've watched things while waiting for them. Of course, if we went with my choice of fully invisible, there'd be nothing to watch.

There is always the "Watch this item" option.

Say what?

Sorry, I meant there is a 'Watch Auction' link you can click on and the item will go in your 'Auctions I'm Watching' area.

I am/was talking about the seller/s perspective and to help sellers plan Auctions.
Thanks.

Thanks.

Now I'm totally confused.

To give you an example I might like particular listings to run for seven days, auto relist ten times, and want them to end on a Sunday i.e. for the next ten weeks they will end on a Sunday.

I might only have the time to list on the Thursday before the first Sunday, so the listing will be in the system and visible (which in the main I would prefer) for part Thurdsay, Friday and Saturday (and part Sunday, though not biddable).

If I want the listings to run in this pattern, the only other option I have is to be avaialble on the Sunday and list manually. (I suppose there are also bulk and ninja lister options, but that is beyond me at the moment).

I suppose what I am saying is that while they are in the system, and visible, I would like bidders to have the option to place the bid.

I follow you, and understand why you want changes made. Simplier solution would be to change the feature so listings do not show until the scheduled day.

Most sellers using feature assume that anyway, not that the inactive listings go "live" and mix with their active ones immediately!

If that change is made, there is no need to add bid/buy or visible/invisible options.
