12 hours Auction - L@@K! 14 Amazon sites: snooze you loose

12 Hours auction. End 11PM on Thursday, Sep 8 (MST). PayPal payment to be received today no later than 11.59PM (MST). The reason? I'm leaving for CA early Friday morning and will be away for a week. If you pay as requested, I will push the name tonight and give you the CPanel details, so you will have full control. You can move the site yourself, or wait until I'm back and I'll move it for you. If you cannot make payment as requested, please do not bid.

POST all bids and questions here. You're bidding on seperate sites, not the lot. All bids start at $30 e.a., except where otherwise stated. Bid increments: $10.00. Will post BIN if enough interest.

PS I had bandwidth issues on some of these sites due to the number of people looking at once - all have been upgraded, but if there still is an issue, let me know and I'll fix it.

JUST A NOTE: ipoddeal.com and thearter.net use the same free Amazon script. This script has no backend and you need to know some basic PHP/HTML if you want to make changes. The other sites use a script with a very nice backend that controls most of the site. The latter script diverts 10% of clicks to the author, as previously explained. Neither of the scripts require a database to run.

Please also note that webhosting is NOT included. I will give you 7 days (after I return from CA) to move the site or sign up for annual webhosting with me (very reasonable). I can also move the site for free when I return and reconfigure the site for a small fee.

Terms:

1. Do a WHOIS lookup to check expiry date and registrar. Free push only to current registrar (no transfers to other registrars).
2. Cash payment via PayPal verified account by 11.59PM MST, Sept 8, 2005. Transfer on funds clearance.
3. Considered sold on receipt and clearance of payment only. First-come, first-served. All sales final. Sold as-is, where-is. No warranties. No returns, no refunds.
4. Current rank, traffic and income is no indication of future rank, traffic and income. Prices quoted are no indication/guarantee of future pricing.
5. Errors & Omissions Excepted. I reserve the right not to sell to anyone. Any intellectual property disputes after sale is your problem.

 

Regarding christianshirts.info:

When I click on a shirt to buy, I'm sent to a page at Amazon that says "your cart is empty...", with no mention of the product. Is this something that could be fixed easily, or what's the deal?

Thanks!

 

This may be a cookie/session issue - see here.

The developer's advice is to "try clearing your cookies and starting a new browser session".

In addition, you might want to check that you are accepting cookies from the site and Amazon.

Let me know if you're still having problems.

 

Cleared cookies, started new browser session, same error. When you click the buy button on http://christianshirts.info/index.php?mode=Apparel&item=B0002UP4XG, does it get added to your cart?

 

Sorry I don't know, I'll have to look into this when I return from CA next week - seems to be an issue only with (some of) the apparel, so I'm pulling christianshirts.info from the auction for now.

Only about 3 hours left on this auction, people ...

 

PM sent, btw.

 

OK, time's up - auction's over for now.

Will try again when I'm back in a week's time. So please no bids, posts or PMs in the interim - I cannot answer them.
