How often are new systems and games added to the tables?
Weekly.
How often is the auction data updated from
eBay?
The auction end times are updated each time
the auctions table is loaded when a game or system is clicked,
or when the auctions table is automatically refreshed by Game Scootch™.
System auctions are updated every 5-10 minutes and game auctions are updated
every 20-30 minutes from
eBay,
and a certain percentage of the auctions with the least amount
of time remaining or the highest bid counts are updated every minute.
The update frequency will increase in future updates of the
Game Scootch™ site.
Do I need an eBay account to bid on auctions?
Yes. You can go to the
eBay site to sign up for one.
Why do some auctions appear under the wrong system/title?
Unfortunately, auction creators sometimes categorize their
merchandise incorrectly, make spelling errors, etc. Also
our game matching procedure is still being tuned. As a
result it is difficult to sort perfectly. We do our best to
assign the auctions to the appropriate system or game based
on the information in the auction. This will improve as the
Game Scootch™ site matures.
What is the "status" for?
For counting down until the next time the data is reloaded.
There is no need to hit the refresh button in your browser, the site
will refresh itself automatically for you.
What is going to be included in the next Game Scootch™ release?
