The user probably entered 0 as a bid increment,

Thanks for pointing that out, ill need to make it so the bid increment is at least 1.

Thanks, now it works.

but, Blaine0002 could that be changed. If you bid more than once on the same item, you need to enter the contact information every time you bid.

I just put a smiley face in it. Our members know the contact for the transactions completion can be done through PM or similar methods.

But it would be great if it didn't ask for it.

I agree, perhaps the option to give alternative contact details if required.

Ill work on that

[acorndomains.co]

Did anyone find ways to do the following:

Show a list of ending soon auctions
Show a list of recently added auctions
Remove the need to post your address
Allow more than 1 currency
Allow more than 1 payment method
Take a slice of the action by having a percentage of all sales sent to your PayPal account

It's on my site here:

Many thanks

you probably reinstalled it.

you will need to go into the phpmyadmin and delete all tables that have the prefix vbay_ and go into the user table and delete the row vbayaddress

If you do not want to loose information tell me and ill find out another way to do it.
