support ‘schedule start time’ ebay feature
Posting an ebay listing there is no option to schedule start time. If more than one person is responsible for the listing, and then would like to review it, that could be a problem.

Absolutely agree with this. Any chance of adding the ability to specify the start time of when eBay listings start please?
From experience of other tools submitting scheduled listings via eBay's API is certainly doable, but I guess there's the complication of checking stock / quantity levels in OpenCart before a listing begins - which might complicate matters.
Perhaps 1 item of stock could be pre-allocated / reserved by OpenBay when the listing was submitted to eBay so at least the eBay listing could begin successfully with 1 available item, then at the next scheduled communication between eBay & OpenBay the correct stock level could be set on eBay if stock quantity is actually >1 at the time.
Additionally OpenBay could keep note of the scheduled listing's specified start time and if an item's stock quantity had reached zero before the eBay listing was due to start time it could remove the scheduled listing from eBay.
