PoshBid is back! (12/3/2009)
Past month we have been working to make PoshBid.com service
better and more reliable. Now we are back!
From Technical difficulties we were able to fix the
Autobidder, its reliability and functions. Flash Auctions with its 30 sec
interval. We also discovered that most our problems were server related. Due to
that we decided to move our database and the website to a new server.
As for Non-Technical changes we have corrected our Terms and
Conditions, its Winning Limits, Shipping destinations and Auction times.
Merry Christmas Season and Happy Hunting for Dream Deals!

UPDATES ABOUT POSHBID.COM (11/20/2009)
Past weeks we have been working to make PoshBid.com service
better and more reliable.
While working with some technical difficulties we also have
worked with some basic rules and features of PoshBid.com.
From Technical difficulties we were able to fix the
Autobidder, its reliability and functions. Flash Auctions with its 30 sec
interval. We also discovered that most our problems were server related. Due to
that we decided last week to move our database and the website to a new server.
As for Non-Technical changes we have corrected our Terms and
Conditions, its Winning Limits, Shipping destinations and Auction times.
SERVER
Last weekend we decided to move our database and auction
site to our new server in Munich,
Germany (Giga-Hosting GmbH). Most problems were server related.
As the server is brand new and needed some setup we are
behind our schedule of re-launching our services (Basic configurations took
24hours). At the moment we are in the middle of full testing and we should be
ready to go shortly.
As soon as the page is properly tested in the new server we
will continue with our services and shipping out winnings from past weeks.
Invoices will be also sent for last auctions.
(We can not modify our database in the middle of changing
servers)
COMPUTER SLOWDOWNS
Computer slowdowns were server related and are not possible
with the new dedicated server.
AUTOBIDDER
Our AutoBidder ha been modified to make it more reliable and
easier to use. Now our users are able to Pause and or Delete their AutoBidders
at any point of the auction.
Notice! If you are setting your autobidder make sure that
the auction timer has not passed 1 minute. This is important as Autobidders are
run with 1 minute interval and if the auction timer is showing less than 1
minute it might not start at all. Therefore every user is suggested to place at
least one bid before setting your auction to run with autobidder.
FLASH AUCTIONS 30Sec
When bidding on 30 second Flash auctions there is no more
refreshing to the entire page.
However users are suggested to bid at the Auction Product
Page to see the last 9 bids in real time. Also users are not suggested to bid
on the last seconds.
BASIC CHANGES - Non Technical Changes
USER PROFILE
User Profiles have been updated, users are suggested to look
over their profiles and correct their shipping information.
SHIPPING
Shipping Rates and Destinations are changed. PoshBid.com is
now shipping to the United States of America,
Canada
and Member Countries of European Union.
WINNING LIMITS
One user may not win more than 3 auctions per week. So in
any 7 day period (Monday-Sunday) user must only have won 3 or less auctions.
User can win up to 1 featured auction within a 7 day period. Auctions are
counted from Monday.
If a user reaches the limit (During the 7 day Period
Mon-Sun), they will be sent an e-mail notification, stating their limit has
been met and they are suggested to continue bidding from Monday, new week.
Bids placed by user who have reached their winning limits
will not be accepted and their bids won’t be given back by PoshBid.com
If a user who has reached winning limits has participated on
an auction and won, than the user will not be counted as a winner. The auction
will be set to run from the point it was closed day before and bids won’t be
refunded. User will be notified and may
not participate on the auction after reset.

UPDATES ABOUT POSHBID.COM
(13th of November 2009)
Past week we have been looking for a new server provider as
our previous service was not reliable (most problems were server related). This
Monday we decided to move our database and auction site to our new server in Munich, Germany
(Giga-Hosting GmbH).
As the server is brand new and needed some setup we are
behind our schedule of launching our services (Basic configurations took
24hours). At the moment we are in the middle of connecting the server and our
database to run PoshBid.com. Second step is full test and we are ready to go.
The new server is High Bandwidth Dedicated Server with Full
Management.
As soon as the page is properly tested in the new server we
will continue with our services and shipping out winnings from past weeks.
Invoices will be also sent for last auctions.
(We can not modify our database in the middle of changing
servers)
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Notice! As we are in
the middle of changing our server including mail server we might have problems
receiving and answering your e-mails.

when deciding when to click the bid button. Computers sometimes lag and if
yours lag while bidding it might not register your bid in time and you could
lose item.

HELP:
33. I placed my bid and got a
confirmation, but my name did not show up as the highest bidder. What
happened?
Sometimes,
in popular auctions many bids come in at close to the same time. Our
system updates the site with whichever bidder came in last. If you saw a
confirmation message your bid was registered and you can see the last bidders
on the product page.
34.
“Auction Closed” appeared after the counter reached zero, but the auction was
reset. Why?
When
bids are made in the last seconds, the auction control is carried out by the
server and auction will reset to 00:02:00.
