Bugs with the auction site
I'll be posting here with any known issues with the auction site so please keep an eye on this page or report any issues you find to me. I can't guarantee I will be able to solve them as I don't know anything about php but I will post on their help forums and see if anyone can help.

- As I am sure some of you are aware by now, certain people are being bombarded with item Winning Notification e-mails. I don't know why and am working on trying to stop it. I do know it is to do with cron jobs but php and I don't get on. I've got some support trying to work on it but the multiple e-mails I'm also getting mean that my account keeps getting blocked and I am unable to send anything out. I will try and set up a temporary e-mail address and use that in the meantime. Apologies to those affected and begs for patience from you all as I will get round to contacting/invoicing/acknowledging receipt of payment and thanking you as soon as I can.

- One or two people may be experiencing some strange information as to who the highest bidder (or what the highest bid) is on some items they are bidding on.
TO BE ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHERE YOU STAND WITH YOUR BIDS, PLEASE GO TO YOUR CONTROL PANEL AND CHECK THERE.
Whatever is listed in your control panel will be the correct information.
Just want to make sure no one misses out on anything they have their heart set on!
An earlier glitch was fixed with this. We are actively working on it to see if it is another glitch this end of things or if it is elsewhere (e.g. with other people's computers or certain e-mail addies). I will update here and on both auction sites when I've heard back from the people at phpAuction.

- The auction watch / item watch facility does not appear to be working correctly and is sporadically sending out updates to people for items they are not watching and ignoring those they are. Please do NOT rely on this. Sorry!
