    Hi Peter,

    Yes you are right. I’ll fix it and release a new update in few days time. Thanks for your suggestion.

    Cheers,

    Hey Nitesh, another thing I thought about was if someone clicks buy now, is there a way to lock that auction so that no one can double buy it? Or snipe it by typing faster ??

    Hi Peter,

    When someone clicks buy now and does successful transaction then plugin expires the auction. If someone clicks buy now but does not actually buy it (means that he does not complete paypal transaction) then obviously plugin does not expires it.

    Now for collision scenario where 2 people are buying at same time, this is a race condition and would rarely happen and you really cannot prepare your plugin for that.

    If I try to lock the auction then obviously that would require error handling which again can be error prone. I personally feel what we have solves the purpose.

    Regards,
    Nitesh
