VCP or SMR?

This is due to the eBay system and there is nothing we can do about it.

Matt,

Post #23 is confusing, at best.

I interpret post #23 to mean that VCP does record fixed price formats. Their only problem is the data won't record the date of sale accurately. If a BIN or BO is listed for 30 days and sells on day 6 the pricing data will not transfer to VCP until the full 30 days have passed.

Tim - that's how I read it as well, though Jim, I agree it should have been worded more clearly.

Tim, Matt,

I don't disagree. The problem is the wording. He should just say "We do record ALL BIN transactions, but there is a delay, on Ebay's end, in getting us that info."

Anyone assuming that I know what a "chinese style format" is, is starting off on the wrong foot.

He said it "posts to VCP," that seemed pretty clear, no?

He said "We record everything that is set on a time schedule..." so BIN items that do not have a scheduled end date but are sold are NOT recorded, like the example below. That's how I interpreted what Bobby said. (and yes, it was kinda cryptic)

So, all those types of sales are not included then? I'd imagine that would be quite a large quantity of sales that are not represented.

Bobby, I am a believer in your service, a subscriber, and an active user. Can you comment on whether these type of BIN sales are going to be included in your service and when? Thank you in advance for your response.

Actually Bobby is the only one that can answer the question at hand here. He's chimed in briefly a couple times, but in my opinion has not answered the question clearly. In fact a couple of his responses have me reading his post more than once because I'm left scratching my head. Bobby, pop in spend a few minutes, (at least) and give us a detailed "clear breakdown" of how fixed auctions with a BIN are in fact recorded on VCP. Many of your customers are clearly needing clarification here. Thank you......
