I was just about to add this myself! :-) Glad I'm not alone in wanting this. Here's my 2p just in case....
Like a lot of sellers I use auction-style-listings, with low or no reserve prices to drive traffic to my other Fixed Price listings. It would be great to do this through OpenBay too. There doesn't seem to be much difference between auction-style & fixed price listings as far as OpenBay is concerned.
I guess for safety's sake the specified number of products for sale in the listing would need to be grabbed by the auction-style-listing so it wasn't available to other marketplaces such as Play or Amazon (remaining stock could be dropped back into general availability in OpenCart if the listing ended without selling everything), but aside from that the listing setup would be similar AFAICT? Obviously we'd need to be able to specify Start Price and Reserve Price values in OpenBay.
Fingers crossed....
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.
