Problem with the Buy Now option
I have a problem with the "Buy Now" option. In case an auction ends normally (there is at last one bit that met the reserve, and the time ran off) everything works fine. On buyer side the auction went from bidding to purchased and I got an e-mail "Winner Confirm". But if the auction ends with buy now it does not work, on seller side the auction went from selling to sold but on buyer side it stays under bidding and the buyer gets no confirmation e-mail. I think that’s because the Get_All_Ended_Items method in ProcessAuctions .pm only finds items with status "1" and the buy now option sets it to "2" but I’m not sure and I don’t knew how to fix this without affecting other processes. Can anyone help me with this problem?

Re: Problem with the

Seems you did not understand how the buy it now feature works. When a user uses Buy it now feature to buy item, the system will send immediately the emails for both buyer and seller with the purchase details and the buy now will be set as a bid also for the buyer under his "Bidding" as it is a sucessful bid and the item will be closed if it is single quantity item or the available quantity will decrease by the amount bought by this buyer.

For the dutch items, the seller will not be notified for each purchase immediately, only after the auction is processed (and not closed).
