Suggestions & trouble

Hi there!

I have found this plugin very useful, but do have a few suggestions.

E-MAIL
First of all, after installing the plugin, I had to test it of course. So I posted one, and uploaded it “private”. The bossman found it hilarious, but as Admins can’t bid on their own posted auctions, I had to create a fake account, publish the fake thing for a few minutes and place a bid to see what would happen. The plugin mailed the ENTIRE customer list saying an auction had started!!! (I alsmost got fired because of that). Suggestion here is: Make that optional, and not default.

TESTING
It would also be very nice if there is a “testing option” so only admins get mails of ANY kind, and can bid on their own testing items. This will allow them to see what is going on, see how things are translated (I’m Dutch) and see who gets what and when.
Suggestion here is: Please fix this to avoid people deleting the plugin due to incomplete and/or bad testing.

COLORS
After a bid is placed, a bar appears at the top of the auction saying “bid placed succesfully”. I think the plugin uses standard theme colors, but I have altered them on our site. This means the bar is dark green and the letters are black. That makes ‘m very hard to read. As I can’t place a bid as poster/admin, I also can’t see which CSS I should alter and test that, as I can’t overbid myself.
Suggestion here is: Make it possible to test and/or alter colors

That being said, I love the initiative of this plugin, we/me/our webshop is hoping to auction off all of the items that got resent to us, things that got a damaged packaging, and the courses that are not yet full.

Please pickup on the suggestions, love your work sofar!

Best wishes for 2022,

Bram
