Starting Price Problems |

Hi Ahmed,\
\
I finally was able to identify the problems related to auctions starting with no price for bids and how it was happening. There are two problem areas (I also just tested it on your demo too).\
\
1) When a seller selects the fixed price option, he/she is then allowed to list the auction with no price at all in the price box (it can be completely empty), resulting in an auction with no starting price and no way for anybody to bid. This has happened numerous times on my site with total confusion on my part until the source of the problem was finally discovered.\
\
2) On the normal starting price option, it allows you to list a zero bid in the following formats (0.00, .00, .0) and still post an auction.\
\
Can you please let me know how I can fix these two problems. Would appreciate it. Thanks. |

Ahmed,\
\
I believe my descriptions were pretty clear. I guess I'll have to actually place it on your demo version to make it crystal clear what the problems are.\
\
The first problem is that somebody can start an auction with no price at all if they select the fixed price option. They can leave the price box EMPTY and hit submit and start an auction which results in an auction with no way for anybody to bid on that auction (not even a bid button). In other words, if the seller forgets to enter a price, then the system still lets it go through. Here is the link to this problem:\

\
The second problem was that somebody can start an auction with .0, .00, 0.00 on either option, and you think that's okay? What would be the purpose of that on an auction site? Here is the link to this problem:\

These are problems that need to be fixed. |

Hi Ahmed,\
\
Your recent update fixed problem number 2, but did not fix problem number one. Here is my listing from today without any price on your demo site:\

\
Here is the problem that still exists:\
\
1) When a seller selects the FIXED PRICE option, he/she is then allowed to list the auction with no price at all in the BUY IT NOW box (it can be completely empty), resulting in an auction with no starting price and no way for anybody to bid. |
