[quote="Anonymous"]## Feature Request: Conditional Group Bidding I love Gixen and use its group bidding feature quite a lot. However, I think it could benefit from an additional type of grouping system. My suggestion is a conditional group bidding feature that works as follows: **If I win any item from Group X1, start bidding on every item in Group Y1.** This would be particularly useful when buying multiple items from the same seller to save on shipping costs. For example, I might want to buy one specific item from a seller, but I would also be interested in some of their other items if I could combine shipping. The idea is that I first bid on the item I really want. If I win it, Gixen would automatically activate my bids on the seller's other items. This way, I could take advantage of combined shipping without having to pay the shipping costs for each item individually. In short, I would like to be able to define conditional bidding groups, where winning an item in one group triggers bidding on another group. This would be a very useful addition to Gixen's existing grouping system.[/quote]

I can see merit in that, but its quite complex for users to understand how to use it. Wouldn't you also want the rest of your primary items bid on, at a higher rate, to take account of the lower shipping costs ? <br /> <br />Of course bid extensions are going to complicate this whole scenario because then we will get situations where the secondary items are due to be bid on when the first hasn't actually completed. Such cases are going to need some thought about how they should be handled, and I have a few suggestions about that if we ever get into a debate about it.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>Guest</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Tue Nov 03, 2026 9:16 am<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Feature Request: Conditional Group Bidding</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">## Feature Request: Conditional Group Bidding <br /> <br />I love Gixen and use its group bidding feature quite a lot.
