| 296309 | 2004-11-25 09:37:00 | I did not really understand Loshings complaint thread, About the changes to the Autobid system on Scamme . Having just had a little play, I understand fully, and agree with his complaint, FULLY . I only want to go to the higher end of my bid if another bidder enters , I do not want to go straight to my highest bid, weather it is under the reserve or not . This is nothing but another Scamme, Scam . I will ever use auto bid again . I will walk away rather than be tucked by Scambid, on Scamme . D . |

You simply get a friend who also has a Tardme account and get them to bid on your auction to put the price up. If they have autobid on, all the better. Then you can afford a few more beers at the pub. :D Hi ninja. ;) |

As for me, no loss at all, still under reserve, its the principle that Lo was unhappy about, and I agree, the problem goes away once over reserve . There are some programs for this that also disguise quite nicely the auto nature, I may have to invest in one . As Scamme is so flawed . I only steal thing's from there any way . D . |

| 296313 | 2004-11-26 01:23:00 | DUHHHHHHHHHHHHH :O Autobid is TO HELP YOU WIN!! Now naturally, the ONLY way to win by bidding is to be OVER the reserve! Therefore, Trademe's autobid naturally bids you up to your limit so that you will meet reserve. Otherwise it is useless. I thought you dropped your 'Scamme' obsession months ago Drb1. *sigh* Grrrr X-( Cheers George :p Now let's be happy |

Good to know that someone else out there knows how the Autobid feature has changed without warning or notice . . . Lo . |

You go to such an effort of posting just to tell us all how much you really aren't interested in it. No one forced you to participate or draw attention to yourself, you know? Feel free to "yawn through" without posting. Lo. |

There's the problem... "Bids up to your limit" as opposed to "bids up to reserve." The 2 are completely different and to set it to bid to the limit is a clear conflict of interest. The autobid feature never used to be like this, and ad hoc changes without warning simply undermine Trademe's credibility as a professional organisation. I'm all about profit and making money, but if you're not open and upfront about changes which affect the end user, then you end up losing credibility. Lo. |
