An ebay like module?

Does this exist? .. my members are wanting to auction off sports memorabilia on one of my sites,, they want a program that allows auctioning.. it would not have to do the money transactions but just run the auction between members ..  I am thinking this module has already have to exist I just cant find it.

I REALLY NEED THIS MODULE

Put this in an html block:

<iframe>http://ebay.com</iframe>

That will be $44 please.

Or you could try this: http://sourceforge.net/projects/simpleauction/files/latest/download

There's going to be so many input fields for an auction user, you'll probably have to get them to sign up separately. I don't think even a shared user authentication is feasible. 

You might consider using the ebay API.

 hahhaa,, Problem is they do not want to auction items off on Ebay,, they want to aution items off to other site members only

WeBid looks like a good starting point, but a full integration with Dolphin isn't going to happen.  I think a good approach would be for you to require a separate sign up to use the auction.  The way I'd approach it would be to require the members Dolphin user name and password as part of the WeBid registration, and have webid use those on the signup form... maybe using ajax authentication of Dolphin username and password.  Then at least Webid User = Dolphin user, and you have the means to exchange user information between WeBid and Dolphin. 

 LMAO .... well making modules and selling them this way seems to work for that other developer you pointed out ;)

I got an actual ebay module but from developer no longer at Boonex! It's useless from what I see ...

What you need is an Auction mod. Probably have better luck finding it if you aren't trying to copy eBay's

 yes I need an "auction" module,, never said anything about copying ebay's.. what I said was "I need an Ebay LIKE module" "ebay like" = "auction"

let's start by listing what we need the module to do.  I will start by listing a few and we can flesh out the needs for the module.

• Members can add items to sell by auction.
• Members can place a bid on the auction.
• The current highest bid is displayed; tracking of members' bids.
• Start and end dates for the auction
• When the auction ends, send a message to the highest bidder.
• When the auction ends, the "pay" button is displayed to the highest bider. Highest bidder clicks and item is added to cart for checkout.
• If highest bidder does not pay, what actions?
• List of current items for auction.
• Tracking of outbid? Yes/No? If Yes, then when one has been outbid on an item, send message to member

 umm YEP.,. that pretty much covers it.. I know one of them module maker guys can slap something together over the weekend,, some of those guys work FAST!!

 Working on what HL posted, I setup the WeBid for a demo. It could be put in an iframe and used.

I don't foresee any vendors jumping in so unless Modzzz or Deano gets one done; WeBids looks nice.

Seems like with some css edits you could get it to look damn close to Rangers.

http://jacksonville.dyndns.tv/WeBid/ if you want to look at it. 

Looking at the sign-up form, it is rather simple.  Of course the way the passwords are stored in WeBid would have to be addressed.

I think the issues with using a third party platform is that we want to create a user in WeBid when a member joins our site.  When the user logs in and out of Dolphin they log in and out of WeBid.  We would need to run a script to add current members to the WeBid members.   Sending an internal message from WeBid to Dolphin might be a bit trickier, might be best to just let WeBid notify members of auction ends and winning bids through external email or through the WeBid interface.

 i need it for rangerschat,, alot of those members over there are "older" if they had to sign up for something else to use it they would just get confused and say forget it,, needs to me simple and integrated, hell alot of the times i have to join the site for them and give them the login details.. but they are LOYAL members,, and that says alot!

I think if I was going to try to create an auction module, I would start with the cart module.  It already has some of the things needed for the auction modules, like placing an item in the cart => placing an item to be auctioned; paying for an item => paying for a winning bid.

However, I doubt if this can be done in a weekend LOL.  If anyone is working on such a module, it would be nice to say so.

 This is just awesome and brilliant! xDD

proper D auction module would be welcomed on the market...

Out of interest, has anyone done a WP integration with D?

(not just iframe...!)

WP has lots of auction modules that are freely available. Might be something there?
