While setting the picture price to 0BTC I edited another field. Issue resolved. Picture hosting will be free for the foreseeable future.

Why is the fee amount 7 BTC before any options have been chosen? Is it assumed that at least one picture will be uploaded? Can this option be turned off?

Is it possible to cancel bids? I once accidental put in 99 bitcoins when I meant .99 bitcoins. I still got outbidded though.

Currently it is not possible. If that does happen again though please contact me and I will modify the amount for you. This feature will be added to my to do list.

** Feature Update **

Image gallery hosting has been fully implemented and is now working. You no longer need to use an outside host to post images(although you still can).

Strength in numbers

"Closed listings" or "Completed Auctions" link below the "All listings" should be good. Maybe you'd need to change "All listings" to "All current listings" or something if you did that, though, to emphasize that everything in the "All listings" is still winnable.

Old auctions should be available to view if the link is bookmarked it can still be accessed by its URL. Users can view their closed auctions(buyers and sellers) conveniently at this page:
http://www.biddingpond.com/closed_auctions.php .

To make it more convenient and to allow old auctions to be easily accessed by everyone how would you suggest listing them? Category named "Closed listings" and/or some other alternative?

Definitely need to keep old auctions available to view. To show site activity is most important now, but it's also good for people to see what prices things are going for and what people are interested in.

I think eBay stores each auction's results for 90 days.

I saw that all the old auctions are gone. Maybe it would be better behaviors to keep old listing? The idea is that people get to see that the site actually get used.

It was not possible to use my short nick kiba. It wants 6 letters username. Why is that?

Short usernames and passwords allow a site to easily become a victim of brute force attacks against the server. Although other countermeasures have also been implemented it was determined the increased liability of short usernames was not worth the risk.

I tried to work with biddingpond but it doesn't seem to process biddings or losing, oudbidding or wins correctly...

placed a 2,00BTC bet, it told me i was the highest bidder for 0,99BTC, then the auction expired and i didn't get any notification wheter i won, or was outbid.

Hello,
Outbid notices are working. Please check your spam folder. If you do not meet the reserve price of the auction you will not receive any notifications besides the warning on the page. Please send me an e-mail with the item you are talking about and I will investigate if there is indeed an error and/or if more notifications need to be added. I should have a help section and FAQ up on the page by this weekend. I'm working on a payment gateway for bitcoins to streamline the process a bit. I have a new site design that I hope to have completed by the end of the month which will make things look cleaner and more Web 2.0ish.

Thanks for letting me know your concerns. Feel free to contact me by e-mail with any other concerns questions or comments and I will keep the forum updated.

I wouldn't include your competitions logo in your own...or a parody of it

But we sure need SOMEPLACE to do it! It would be nice to have a site to publicly throw crap at PayPal as well.
