Happy Hour Glitch

[bykimbo]

Just noticed a Happy Hour auction showing a 1p start price on the front page, though it's fine when you go into the listing.

Just for eBid's info!

Didn't you report one of these about a week ago and the problem was supposedly fixed?

Not that recently, I don't think, but yes it's not the first time I've pointed it out.

I think I might have a clue to where this is coming from, if it's still a problem...

Just set up a front page auction. When I've done these before it's been via the happy hour display on the front. This time I was basing my listing on an existing one, so I went via the normal listing process reached from "list similar".

I changed the title and details as I wanted, then thought I'd try for a short-cut and just hit the "start as happy hour" button, thinking this would set all the necessary stuff like timing and price and let me carry on. It *sort* of did, but also took me straight out of edit into a screen saying changes had been made and I could preview. Preview showed a price of 1p. The listing I was working from had been a fixed price, which clearly had to be changed for Happy Hour.

Since I was paying attention I went back in, made the further necessary changes and then hit "start as happy hour" again. This time all was fine and after preview I hit submit.

I suspect that if I'd done that the first time I looked, the price would have shown as 1p, as reported here above.

Hope that helps support!

Hi,

You say front page auction but then happy hour, they are 2 different formats. Can you explain a little more for us to investigate please.

Do you mean you used "List Similar" on a current Happy Hour Auction or was it a repost?

Thanks
