Auction script SoldEngine: testing

Discussion in 'Scripts' started by netload, Jun 23, 2010.

    Everyone knows what the auction - someone is selling unnecessary things, someone buys the necessary goods at a reasonable price. But not everyone knows what an auction can make a profit. To do this, just ... open up your auction. With the auction script SoldEngine you can easily create your own web-auction.

    Demo

    You can see a demo version of the auction in the site http://soldengine.com/en/
    Admin login: admin , password 123
    Seller login: test , password 123
    (some control panel functions are disabled for security purposes)

    How it works
    • The seller creates a lot and pays for the opening of trades. Payment is accepted in the automatic mode, the administrator sets the amount of commission.
    • The buyer makes a bid and pays for the first bid (lump sum payment, to confirm the ability to pay). Payment is also accepted in the automatic mode.
    • Any visitor can (without registration) write a message in the discussion of the lot.
    • Upon successful completion of trades the buyer receives e-mail of the seller, the seller receives e-mail of the buyer, and they make a deal without the participation of the administrator.
    • Buyers can write a opinion about the seller and make a mark ("good" or "bad").
    • The administrator configures the auction, moderates lots, rates and comments.
    Installing the auction does not require knowledge of programming or systems administration. Script can be installed in any hosting with support PHP and MySQL.

    Destination
    SoldEngine is ideal for creating thematic or regional (town, district) auctions. For instance, through auction, you can buy and sell
    • domain names
    • web-site templates
    • books and magazines
    • furniture
    • rare and collectable items
    etc.

    Summary

    • Open source code. You can easily to change the appearance and functionality of the auction.
    • Handy interface
    • Two languages available: English and Russian. It’s possible to configure and add new languages.
    • Automatically accept payments via PayPal and all popular Russian payment systems (WebMoney, Yandex.Money, etc.)

    Testing

    English is not my native language, so you can see the annoying errors. I will be grateful for your assistance in correcting errors.
    A few days later I'll give some free licenses to volunteers to fully test and evaluate the quality of the script.

    Price

    After testing is completed (July, 1), you can buy the script for $65

    What is planned in future releases

    • Dutch auction (price reduction).
    • Private auction (participation by invitation)
    • …

    Yes, test script will be available a few days later. I'll write about it later.

    In the demo site PayPal payment works in the test mode (via sandbox.paypal.com).

    I think google checkout, moneybookers, Escrow, alertpay.

    Hey i saw some words have stronger english means that words are not used daily. It will be difficult for non-english countries visitor's to understand.

    Blitz - BIN or Buy it Now.

    Other than that if you design some cool template or improve the current template. It will look cool. :)

    Ok, I'll correct it in the page http://soldengine.com/en/lot/2/ . But how to correct "Blitz price" in the page http://soldengine.com/en/lot/new/ ? "Buy it Now" also or somehow else?

    You can change the desing of your auction through the CSS or edit html-code (all html in separate modules). Maybe some design options will be added in next version.
