I used to use JBidWatcher, years ago, and it had this functionality. I would definitely like this feature as well. I moved away from having a NAS and maintaining Linux packages was a pain so Gixen fills the sniping gap but I really miss this feature. I used to run esniper on a NAS with the |es|f| web frontend on top and that could take the shipping costs into account for groups and it was great. The import from watchlist is great but then I have to go one by one adding each item to the group and working out what the max bid for each is, taking into account the S+H for each so that the max I'm willing to pay is not exceeded. Sometimes I can add 20 items to my watch list that I want to import into a group. I find Gixen very reliable but it's a pain to have to edit each item individually. OK, I've not noticed that but could put a limit on domestic items only to at least get the core of this functionality in. I've been complaining about that for many years, but it never seems to get fixed. Often when the transaction is international the costs obtained only reflect the domestic shipping charge. Unfortunately the shipping and handling cost provided to Gixen is often inaccurate. This would open up setting a max total cost value for a group and enable bulk add without having to calculate the max bid of each item in a group individually. IF (current bid + s+h) < max cost THEN place bid Would it not be possible to change the bid logic from: The S+H cost is already pulled in and displayed against each item in Gixen. S&H is unreliable, as they depend on buyer's location in many instances. Gixen should then bid up to the max price, including S+H until an item in the group is won and then cancel the rest. tick boxes next to items to be groupedĪnd that's it.

Import bunch of items from watched listĢ.

It's great you can place items into groups and have them auto-cancel when you win one but it seems like an obvious next step to be able to set the max bid for all items in a group and ideally, to have it take S+H costs into account (which are visible on the item details).Ĭurrently each item has to be edited individually and added to the group with the price set one by one.ġ.
