Guest Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 I'm looking for anything to allow a customer to come to the osC site, and pay for an auction they won on eBay. I don't need ANYTHING as sophisticated as these commercial things you see around that charge an arm and a leg. Here's what I need. Instead of a customer calling up to give their Credit card number, and the process taking 20 minutes.... I'd just like to be able to have them come to the site, and pay for their auction that way... even if it is to just submit their CC details, so it can be processed by hand on the terminal. So are there any contribs to do this that I haven't found? Or maybe some sort of mod, or product listing I can make? I know I'm not being specific... I apologize. So gimme anything you've got if you think its even remotely related. As long as some sort of CC number can be sent for the amount of the auction. Who knows, I may be able to adapt things, and make a nice contrib from it for everyone :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Continuation....... Perhaps someone has a way where the customer can come to the site, type in what the auction number was, type in the price, and submit payment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velveeta Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Continuation....... Perhaps someone has a way where the customer can come to the site, type in what the auction number was, type in the price, and submit payment? I don't know if there's anything like this currently, but you could always set up a new database table that maps ebay order #'s to the price the auction was won for, and a product id, and then put a form in that would allow the user to enter their auction #, and you could probably just fudge the final_price value in the shopping_cart class with that auction's price data... You can pull an ebay feed down via their API, and just cron the job so that it fires every X minutes to populate that ebay table... Richard.

Sounds possible... but doesn't seem like its worth the effort to pull all ebay orders into a table when only a fraction of those orders will be paid using this method. The purpose I'm trying to achieve is for when people don't want to pay with paypal directly from ebay or by check/money order by mail, but rather instead of calling up to give credit information. I'd say maybe 10 out of every 100 orders pays like that. But thanks for the idea anyhow.... I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to perhaps make an area where a customer can enter their auction number (basically just like a text field in an email form...rather arbitrary), enter the amount they owe, then pass this information off to the payment module for checkout. I don't need any tracking or reference to eBay, since all that is already in Blackthorne. Suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxrisc Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 I'm looking for anything to allow a customer to come to the osC site, and pay for an auction they won on eBay.

So gimme anything you've got if you think its even remotely related. As long as some sort of CC number can be sent for the amount of the auction. Who knows, I may be able to adapt things, and make a nice contrib from it for everyone :-) Hey yeah there was a contribution in German called Auction Lister. I emailed the author about handling the translations and integration on US stuff. No response yet. Perhaps she doesn't speak English like I don't speak any German. Anyway..the contribution is called Auction Lister and does all this stuff on ebay. You can create an auction from your site and when the auction is over you can send a message to the winner with a link to come to your cart and checkout without creating an account. Did I mention that you don't even have to go to ebay? Just pick a product from your cart and away you go. Click submit and you are done. I am in the debug phase now on the script with regard to testing posting auctions with MS2.2. Auction postings are working. :) There are quite a few changes to be made still so I am expecting this to take me a few more days. But it works so far. If you would like to see a demo of the cart send me some mail to this account and I will PM you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you gotten yours to work posting to eBay (not eBay.de)? I also emailed the author, however, it was in English. Thank you for your time! James.

Who knows, I may be able to adapt things, and make a nice contrib from it for everyone :-) Auction Lister seem like it is a possibility, but like the author who started this thread, I only need something that allow customer to pay for eBay auction through osC. All the other features of AuctionLister are great to have, but not necessary to have. I am thinking more along the line of this: 1. Since ebay can send out an email at the end of auction automatically, have it containing an URL to page on our oscommerce website where ebay customer can checkout 2. Enter their ebay item # would bring up page with description, price, etc. (Better yet, if the item# is embedded in the URL to the page. Or clicking on the eBay checkout would redirect them to this page) 3. Clicking confirm would place the item in the shopping cart, like any other items. They have to option to add other items from our website or just use the checkout 4. Checkout process would be the same as buying from our website and order would be recorded in Oscommerce. Hopefully someone can write a contribution to do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
