Guest Posted January 25, 2004 Posted January 25, 2004 I believe I ran into the same problem a while back myself. Try to install the flat rate shipping, but you do NOT need to make it available. That is what I did and it fixed my problem. Best of luck to you. Quote
michimaus Posted January 25, 2004 Posted January 25, 2004 Anthony, I love this contribution - but - I?m testing version 1.2 and see a small weird issue in the calculation of the shipping cost. My Settings: flat shipping installed but not enabled tabular shipping configuration: 110.99:5.78,100000:0.00 Auction settings: ebay shipping cost for domestic shipping: true price: 12.95 shipping: 2.20 insurance: included calculate insurance per article: false The Problem (when checking out): when adding Products from the catalog to the basket to the auction item, shipping cost says 7.98 in /checkout_shipping.php but 2.20 in checkout_confirmation.php. The value 7.98 results in adding 2.20 + 5.78 of course but does not make sense because shipping should be switched to 5.78 if products beside the auction items are added. Second, I use the "include TAX" configuration of the shop. The shipping values in eBay shipping include Tax already (as it is noticed like that in the auction), the tabular shipping price is the netto value as Tax is calculated during checkout. 7.98 is the addition of a 'brutto' plus a 'netto' value - which is already false, but on top the tax value for the tabular shipping is not recalculated... correct calculation should consider the maximum value of shipping and take this one instead of eBay shipping plus recognize the tax-settings... First of all I think you need a check in the auction items if tax is included or not... michimaus Quote
Guest Posted January 25, 2004 Posted January 25, 2004 I do have flat rate installed.. is there another one I should install???? :( :( Quote
michimaus Posted January 25, 2004 Posted January 25, 2004 Anthony, just a small hint.... there might be a security issue in the workflow if - for some reason somebody else knows the email address of the auction winner (which is of course not that difficult to get to know, isn?t it?). Then sb else can do the checkout - uhhhh ? What about sending a unique security code to the winners email adress (with the checkout descriptions makes sense) which is checked when logging in through auction_finder.php. Second this should not affect people collecting auctions (they will get 2 Securitycodes). Query should only check if one of the codes given by the user is valid to this email address. Hmmmmm.... think some of the code needed could be grabbed form the gift voucher contrib.... :D michimaus Quote

♥auctionblox Posted January 25, 2004 Author Posted January 25, 2004 The value 7.98 results in adding 2.20 + 5.78 of course but does not make sense because shipping should be switched to 5.78 if products beside the auction items are added. Trust me, everybody's definition of what should happen is different and it has been a constant thorn in my side. The CURRENT implementation takes the shipping charges from eBay and ADDS any shipping charges for store items using OSC shipping modules. This may not be what you want. My hope was to begin a discussion of how shipping should work when store items are added. Second, I use the "include TAX" configuration of the shop. Well, I never considered tax on shipping. I wonder how many people use this? If there's enough support for it, I can perhaps add it at some point. there might be a security issue in the workflow if -for some reason somebody else knows the email address of the auction winner I discussed this before in the previous forum. It's a semi-secure solution, and IMO it's a good enough solution. We're not dealing with identity theft here, and ultimately you have control over whether to ship the item or not. Quote

michimaus Posted January 25, 2004 Posted January 25, 2004 Anthony, Trust me, everybody's definition of what should happen is different and it has been a constant thorn in my side. I believe. Do what I want & I will take my knife out of your neck. :ph34r: A fact is that the values in checkout_shipping.php & checkout_confirmation.php should not be different, right? The CURRENT implementation takes the shipping charges from eBay and ADDS any shipping charges for store items using OSC shipping modules. This may not be what you want. Jepp. But IMHO this means to make the minority the majority. ;) I know this would be hard to code because it means to code a matrix of rules... hmmm. If U don?t like to implement, I will do it myself for my special needs. Should not be a big thing to code: $oldshipping = $shipping ... your process ... If $shipping > $oldshipping Shipping = $oldshipping or somewhat, hehe... Well, I never considered tax on shipping. I wonder how many people use this? If there's enough support for it, I can perhaps add it at some point. If you like to address people in Europe - allmost E-V-E R-Y-B-O-D-Y! I don?t know how much installations of osc are up here but I?m sure there are a few thousand... Dealing with taxes is a MUST as european governments are very very hungry... :( Tax is & will be a problem in any type of item managed through osc. Have a look how to add a product. You have two fields for the price. One is tax included, one is tax excluded. Additionally there is a tax class dropdown. You enter price tax excluded - price included is calculated. You enter price tax included - price excluded is calculated. BTW: Everybody in Europe will run into problems with the taxes if he/she likes to subscribe to your auction upload service & therefore WILL NOT subscribe... We're not dealing with identity theft here, and ultimately you have control over whether to ship the item or not. Hmmm... you like to address highrollers here & like to sell a timesaver. Do you really like to make us check every Auction Sale email from eBay if the checkout person in osc is the same as mentioned in eBay? Remember your own words: 'The eBay Auction Sales Manager has been provided for use by high volume eBay PowerSellers and low volume sellers alike. ' If you don?t I will code myself - no problem :blink: Keep your head up, Your contrib is going to be genious... michimaus. Quote
jasonaudio Posted January 25, 2004 Posted January 25, 2004 michimaus - for getting something free like this auction manager, you don't seem very thankful for it. I know you may just be frustrated because everything is not fit to your liking, but I don't think you need to be talking to the guy(s) putting this AWESOME contrib together the way you were. Be a little more thankful that they even put this out here for us to use. I know I LOVE IT! and will use it quite often. Quote
♥auctionblox Posted January 26, 2004 Author Posted January 26, 2004 A fact is that the values in checkout_shipping.php & checkout_confirmation.phpshould not be different, right? Good point! I overlooked that. I'll add that to the list. I know this would be hard to code because it means to code a matrix of rules... hmmm. If U don?t like to implement, I will do it myself for my special needs. What would really be useful, is if we could open some dialogue with the group and determine what we want to do here. Then, if you could code something that I could add to the contribution for all, that would be awesome. Dealing with taxes is a MUST as european governments are very very hungry.. Here too. Sales tax works just fine for items, afaik. I thought you were referring to taxes on shipping charges. I was saying that I don't know which locales charge tax on shipping. I would like to understand this issue more. If you don?t I will code myself - no problem Great! Please consider contributing it back. Quote
MStorm Posted January 26, 2004 Posted January 26, 2004 I just installed Auction Manager MS2 but I am having a problem with the application_top.php. I do not have the following code: if (tep_session_is_registered('cart') && is_object($cart)) { if (PHP_VERSION < 4) { $broken_cart = $cart; $cart = new shoppingCart; $cart->unserialize($broken_cart); } } else { tep_session_register('cart'); $cart = new shoppingCart; } I tried the new code as an addition, and I tried running it without the code at all, and all I get is errors. I would really appreciate any help. Thanks Quote
MStorm Posted January 26, 2004 Posted January 26, 2004 Hi Again, I am also getting the folowing error in my admin Fatal error: Call to undefined function: display_count_ex() in /home/centpill/public_html/catalog/admin/auction_listing.php on line 247 No matter what I try and do in the Auction admin area I get the same "Call to undefined function: display_count_ex() error. Any ideas??? Any Help??? Thanks again :-) Quote
♥auctionblox Posted January 26, 2004 Author Posted January 26, 2004 I just installed Auction Manager MS2 but I am having a problem with the application_top.php. I do not have the following code: You are not running osCommerce 1.1 MS1 OR MS2. You are using a daily snapshot, so you will have to determine where $cart = new shoppingCart(); is being called and replace it with $cart = new superCart(); No matter what I try and do in the Auction admin area I get the same "Call to undefined function: display_count_ex() error. You did not overwrite your previous split_page_results.php file with the one included in the distribution under /admin/includes/classes. Quote
♥auctionblox Posted January 26, 2004 Author Posted January 26, 2004 oops. I meant osCommerce 2.2 MS1 OR MS2... Quote
♥auctionblox Posted January 26, 2004 Author Posted January 26, 2004 All, I want to start a new thread of discussion. I want to assemble an easy-to-install and downloadable osCommerce store with EAM (of course), and other good contributions. Currently, I only use: OSC 2.2 MS2 STS EAM PayPal IPN What other contributions do you use or feel that are imperitive to having a fully featured online store with auction capabilities? Quote
Guest Posted January 26, 2004 Posted January 26, 2004 HELLO ALL I just wanted to update you all with anthony's help we I found the problem.. I just got some entries added wrong.. I knew it was something easy that I just couldn't figure out. thank you all Quote
michimaus Posted January 27, 2004 Posted January 27, 2004 @jasonaudio: My friend... you get something wrong. I LOVE THIS CONTRIB - I REALLY DO - BELIEVE ME ;) @anthony: thx :) I try to explain step by step... TAX on shipping charge: I could only speak for the germans (uuuuuhhhh - geeermany)... In germany you have to show prices tax included in your catalog if you sell to consumers (end users, b2c...). If you sell b2b (wholeselling) you need show tax excluded. If you are not (very) small business you have to mention taxes separately on your invoices. Allmost everything has taxes, food 7%, non food 16% and some others like books etc... services have 16% tax. Shipping charges you set in your eBay auctions are always tax included here. the osc internal calculation is based on prices tax excluded & is added in the catalog representation if set tax included in admin. Therefore you run into problems. This time you Add eBay shipping (tax inc.) + osc shipping (tax excl. in the database). ideas: - store eBay shipping as a tax excl. value to the database as items are - Add a tax class field. You do not need to put that into the auction database as it is a global value for all eBay shipping taxes. Maybe 'Myauction' is a good place for that. - Make your upload service compatible with that by adding an admin option that prices from upload are tax included. The upload script can then store tax excluded values to the database. Shipping values can be easily calculated afterwards no matter how... michimaus Quote
michimaus Posted January 27, 2004 Posted January 27, 2004 Anthony, except EAM? Nothing !!! :P my current in use contribution list (most important Filter:ON): current_auction: Great! Makes your current ebay auctions available store inline in your design. Needs a little bit editing but its worth the coolness! Needs some changes for non us users. Credit Class & Gift voucher: Should be the first to install. Send Admin Password: Help with a click! Featured Products: Much better & more flexible than 'New Products' Loginbox w. MyAccount: Add password_forgotten.php & create_account.php is a plus and easy Recently viewed Products Order_Number_Prefix: The better order number! ;-) Payment Type Charge: I use this for cod Discount for Payment Type: I use this for prepaid orders Pickup Shipping Module: For the people around the corner Shop by Price Infobox: Does what it says. Easy plus big value. Shopping Cart Enhancement: Put the cash by your side! With free shipping countdown. Tracking in order history: Hey dude! Where?s the package? Step-by-Step manual order: Could be improved but allthough is a lifesaver. Is a combination of create_admin_account, edit_orders and manual_order. RMA Returns System: Get your products bach - the better way To do List: Add a new feature to the tracking history: show tracking results Store inline (based on current auction, for german dpd shipping carrier) Down for maintenance Enable/disable Categories A must for EAM users... ;) B2B Suite Seems to be better than discount groups... Gift Wrap Live Support Print Package Stickers Wishlist Thats it for the moment... michimaus Quote
Guest Posted January 27, 2004 Posted January 27, 2004 As far as the email security issue goes. If someone really wants to checkout and pay under someone else's email, I really don't care. They are going to have to set up a new account like anyone else. And if they want to pay, they probably aren't going to have access to their PayPal id/pass. I'm going to have to agree that this is a minimal security issue. I'd like to add "Big Product Image" to the list of things to install. Great for eBay users, can pull your images for your listing directly from your site. Very nice to be able to have larger images of things in the catalog. Of the ones mentioned, and of the ones I know, I will agree with the following: Credit Class & Gift voucher Featured Products Loginbox w.

Guest Posted January 28, 2004 Posted January 28, 2004 hello Anthony I have a question about the automatic Emails do they go out if the product isn't mapped to anything yet??? Naomi Quote
CorneliusH Posted January 28, 2004 Posted January 28, 2004 Hello Anthony Thanks for the new edition 1.2 :D I've tested the improvements fore some days and it looks alright - I do have one problem: I've send an invoice to my self for an unmapped eBay item. When I log in it's working as you described, with the original auction text + picture - but since there's no items in stock I can't check out. I get the "out of stock" warning and since I've set OSC configuration/stock/checkout false I can't check out! What do I do now??? :o PS After I've tested this since the first issue I realize it's a great contribution in order to integrate your auction sale with osc. It works very fine for me when I'm using an auction tool like eBay's sale assistant professional to manage the auction design and all the automation of listings etc. I've have contributed with many suggestions to, but I'm not sure it's within the (short time) frame of this contribution to make it to a complex auction managing tool (they are invented many already). I would suggest to make some efforts to make the integration between auction sale and osc even better - stock management could be an important issue. Suggestion: As soon a auction is registered (downloaded) in this contrib. and is mapped with an item in the Catalog the stock should be reduced with one in order to prevent a double sale if there's only one in stock. An e-mail edition could be another. Sincerely Cornelius :) Quote Who let the dog out ?!!! Newer trust a smiling dog!
CorneliusH Posted January 28, 2004 Posted January 28, 2004 To noppie Yes they do - to test: edit an unmapped sale and change the email addres to your own - send invoice - and you got the invoice in your mailbox. Sincerely Cornelius Quote Who let the dog out ?!!! Newer trust a smiling dog!
♥auctionblox Posted January 28, 2004 Author Posted January 28, 2004 (edited) I've send an invoice to my self for an unmapped eBay item. When I log in it's working as you described, with the original auction text + picture - but since there's no items in stock I can't check out. I get the "out of stock" warning and since I've set OSC configuration/stock/checkout false I can't check out! Well, for now, the only thing you can do is set the out of stock checkout to true. I'll work on fixing this behavior for out of stock checkout = false. make the integration between auction sale and osc even better - stock management could be an important issue. Suggestion: As soon a auction is registered (downloaded) in this contrib. and is mapped with an item in the Catalog the stock should be reduced with one in order to prevent a double sale if there's only one in stock. An e-mail edition could be another. Oh yes, these are on the high priority feature list! I was going to add the inventory management to 1.2, but wanted to get something more usable out for you all and add that feature in short order. The email manager is crucial for me, so I'll be adding that asap. It's killing me to compose all these emails manually! :-) but I'm not sure it's within the (short time) frame of this contribution to make it to a complex auction managing tool True, it is all about priorities. I originally felt that creating a listing tool was pointless since we have tools like TurboLister, and focusing solely on osc sales integration was key. (That's why it's called eBay Auction *Sales* Manager.) But, I have determined a few good reasons why we might want a listing tool as well. Edited January 28, 2004 by auctionblox Quote
